Trust

This is as good as our own officially curated packages, as they have clear workflow on what & how packages are built. And since their packages are built on Github Actions, transparent CI logs are also available for all of their packages. They also sign their packages with minisign.

All of these make us say with high confidence that you can trust them, as long as you trust that Github, Cargo, Crates.io or the package itself isn't compromised.

On a scale of 1-10, we had rate this source as 9, As high as any external source, not personally curated by us can get.
