You can ask this kind of diligence from sub-contractors, not from open-source contributors, especially when a package is maintained only by one developer on his/her sparetime. Or if you think these components are key to the infrastructure, why not move their development to github.com/ocaml/ with a larger team of maintainers, as it was done for OPAM ? --Fabrice
