    I’ve come across a few projects over the years where the ownership is transferred and it’s then loaded up with malware

    See: The Great Suspender

    The original developer sold the repo to a new, anonymous maintainer. The new maintainer abandoned the repo but continued updating the Chrome Web Store version of the addon. That version eventually got delisted by Google for including malware.
