Github owns and controls NPM, npm is no longer a community-controlled project. Therefore, Github should [happily] take on the duties, responsibilities, and obligations of a software publisher to provide either: trust ratings on packages and code, or literally and not figuratively scan every single package-and-version on npm for appropriateness.
