Software is software. The reason this bug was found was due to its open source nature. Someone simply read the source, violla... found a backdoor! Try doing that to closed-source!
Lastly, who's to say closed-source repositories couldn't be hacked into? In addition.. what closed-source companies would even dare admit it? That being said... what do YOU trust more.. open or closed?
