It would take labor, that's for sure. Manual review of everything JS is just too massive a landscape to cover. Automation is the way to go here, for sure.

I think the bare minimum is heavy use of auditjs (or Snyk, or anything else that works this way), and maybe a mandatory waiting period (2-4 weeks?) before allowing new packages in. That should help wave off the brunt of package churn and give auditjs enough time to catch up to new package vulnerabilities. The key is to not wait too long so folks can address CVE's in their software, but also not be 100% at the bleeding edge.
