reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

    This is already a major red flag even without the ai stuff right? Can’t believe anyone would flaunt that like this.

      The “single pull request” is a merge release from 79 separate commits. It’s the sum of all work, it doesn’t mean all of it was changed in one go.

          Why? What difference does it make if he packages these commits in 1 or 10 PRs?
