Every pull request is reviewed and merged by an approved developer and developers are only approved after several merged PRs. There's also plenty of self-review of commits made. I generally look over every commit I pull before I merge it in to my local dev branch. I've not read all the historical code (but I'm gradually doing it...) Not all approved developers can push updates for K-9 to the play stores. In theory if cketti went rogue he could push rogue code. But then he's the benevolent project lead - there's always someone in that position invariably for any app. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
