It certainly is not! I've read quite enough code reviews on
comp.lang.javascript and done quite enough analysis on my own. The
jQuery repo on Github gets some feedback too, but Github allows repo
owners to censor comments and you can expect the jQuery team will do
just that.

I suggest reading those, as well as its author's only posts on
comp.lang.javascript (uncensored usenet newsgroup) which show a
shocking lack of understanding of very basic concepts as well as a
very arrogant attitude towards criticism. He has since "banned"
c.l.js. Those comments as well as several reviews of the jQuery
library are linked from my site.
