high security packages like this that effect ssh and main parts of the OS critical for security and safety should be maintained by actual enterprises not by one developer.
I don’t remember the company names, but I guess people will remember the incidents.
- Solarwinds have been breached end to end.
- A company has been bribed (forced?) to ship backdoored encryption algorithms.
- A network hardware supplier’s firmware had been backdoored by Chinese IIRC.
- NSA backdoored national standards.
- Microsoft has been breached end to end.
In short, even if you’re a company, you’re one NSL, one bad actor, one misstep away from “total pwnage”.
I trust some individuals for developing critical software than entire “enterprise”s.

Everything is as strong as their weakest link.
