I share your concerns on this, but disagree on the likelihood
of reviews having gone by under the assumption of @system by
default. I doubt most people even thought about
@safe/@trusted/@system, and that's assuming anyone reviewed the
code in the first place.
A few years ago I submitted several PRs to Phobos to mark all
unittests that could with @safe explicitly. I'd say that was a
good example of nobody reviewing them for their @systemness.
I don't think a community run project without a lead or team
behind it is a very good example. No one is going to spend their
free time reviewing code ensuring it is memory safe. I've seen it
such that unit tests in phobos/druntime weren't being run on some
platforms, and there were tests that failed when run.
