Issues_I’ve_had_with_Void

How high of a standard is there for contributions to the core components of FreeBSD (ie not ports) ? 

In my mind you guys would require some info about the contributor, as in somebody with a real name as opposed to a gamer tag right? 

I’m just kinda pissed off at the sorry ass way some linux distros have handled accountability and attribution, but particularly Void. My sense is, with FreeBSD it matters a lot given the investment of the people I know who have contributed to it over the years, I’m sure they would like to believe this still matters and it’s too important to allow contributions that can’t be definitively attributed to a real person. 

I get with ports it’s a bit different, and that the Linux kernel is not void. As a matter of fact I have a mirror of the ports distfiles (at least about 400gb of them) and it’s scary to think about but it’s at least a little less scary to me than the way Void handles package management because I feel like somebody is willing to endorse at least the core part of FreeBSD. 

Idk I guess I'm just starting to realize how much people don’t learn from some mistakes. A couple of years ago when sshd got backdoored, it was incredible to think that the attacker actually used coercive tactics, and I’m sure a lot of people were shaken by it but it just seems apparent to me that there are much simpler opportunities for attacks against various Linux distributions.
