You are right, don't trust them. This is open source, go and read the
source, there is never enough people to help proof reading :)

If I was able to read and understand the source, I would probably be
contributing to it. Isn't there usually an oversight process in which
source commits are reviewed by someone before being accepted? Otherwise
someone could be putting back doors or spy-code into the source code?
If I worked for an alphabet soup agency, I would certainly ***love*** to
be involved in open source development!
With closed source software there is a level of accountability - if
something like that was discovered the companies reputation would
suffer, there could even be lawsuits, loss of revenue, etc.
My understanding (perhaps ignorant) is that there is some kind of
process in most group-effort open source projects, especially of this
importance to screen code before it is committed to cvs or svn or
whatever version tracking software is used.
