I found a very interesting article about crev:
https://wiki.alopex.li/ActuallyUsingCrev

It's basically making a web of trust to handle making sure that
dependencies are trustworthy.

Note that using crev doesn't require GitHub, it just requires a public
git repo (the author doesn't use GitHub for their repo).

There's currently only an implementation for Rust and Cargo:
https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev

This definitely needs to be integrated into pip, npm, and other
similar programs.
