Of course we can; in fact, that's their direct responsibility.  If one
had ported a piece of software, they are expected to know when does it
do or why is it useful to have in the collection, and be able to express
this knowledge in a few sentences.  I utterly fail to understand what's
so hard about this?

So you're bringing potentially dangerous or malicious software in the
collection, how nice.

It is your and others' direct responsibility if you offer a piece of
software to our users.  You don't have to audit the entire source code
but at least basic understanding of what are you adding is certainly
in order.
