This is insulting. The whole premise behind the paper is that open source developers aren't able to parse comits for malicious code. From a security standpoint, sure, I'm sure a bad actor could attempt to do this. But the fact that he tried this on the linux kernel, an almost sacred piece of software IMO, and expected it to work takes me aback. This guy either has a huge ego or knows very little about those devs.
