Imagine a world where a single OSS maintainer can do the work of 100 of today’s engineers thanks to AI. In the world you describe, it seems likely that contributors would decrease as individual productivity increases.
Wouldn't everything produced by an AI explicitly have to be checked/reviewed by a human? If not, then the attack vector just shifts to the AI model and that's where the backdoor is placed. Sure, one may be 50 times more efficient at maintaining such packages but the problem of verifiably secure systems actually gets worse not better.
