Well, that's part of the nice thing here. The "really dangerous stuff"
is all running on a service that does so full-time, not on our
resources. Everyone can open git repos and open malicious PRs in them -
travis checks a *lot* of projects... That's not to say your worries
are unfounded, just that they're not primarily ours. Although even the
patch file handling etc, seems worthy of a good bit of attention.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
