Mark already pointed out that maintainers and committers actually _do_
have a responsibility to dig into changes, be knowledgeable about
upgrades, etc. I agree with his perspective on this.

The security problems involved in trying to audit a fixed, known set
of files are miniscule compared to the problems involved in auditing a
set of files that can change on a minute by minute basis. The whole
concept of creating a FreeBSD port that checks source files out of a
third-party svn repository is anathema to the whole concept of ports
security.
