Would it not be possible to use security tools (IA based or otherwise) to
scan
all the files stored in your ~/.emacs.d directory to ensure that the code
you end
up using is not affected by vulnerabilities?
And then lock it up somehow so no extra packages get installed.
Would that not be better than depending on the reputation of repos you take
these from?

Just an idea
