OpenDoas, a portable version of OpenBSD's doas, has 4260 LoC while doing most you'd expect. Sudo just has a lot of policy tools that most don't even know about, but add to its surface area.

OpenDoas is used by default by Alpine linux for example.

I remember last time I installed it, there was neither sudo nor doas preinstalled.

sudo was officially depreciated in 3.15 and moved to community in the next release https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/tsc/-/issues/1
