Yes, since not liking or disagreeing with someone isn’t the same thing as likelihood they are pushing malicious code. If something is open source that’s a really good sign, because they could also push closed source code and be more likely to get away with it that way. More points if it clearly has other eyes on it; even if I am not checking over the code myself, someone probably is for a lot of projects.

It’s like “separate art from artist” except even more so because software tends to be even more quantifiable as its own independent thing than art is.
