Comment (by guest):

 I agree with int-e - by putting something on hackage, and telling everyone
 that hackage is great, we are putting some faith in the system. I think
 instead of trusting packages, we should be trusting uploaders. There
 aren't going to be many people who write 3 real Haskell libraries, then on
 their fourth go, decide to harm everyone. Perhaps a "this person also
 uploaded", or a cursory check by a human when a person uploads their first
 package.
