They certainly can. They do not always choose to do so, however. If
enough people really wanted to get a determined and thorough audit
of qmail done, and they included some reasonably skilled
programmers, I expect that we could borrow the missing auditing
expertise from the big name-brand squadron of open source code
auditors, the OpenBSD team.
