If you want to be sure, there should be some code review tool in the 
process, which would allow pear reviews of commits, e.g. if approved 
packager commits something into package he does not own/maintain, the 
commit would need to go through peer-review, but any other packager 
could be the peer.

Moreover every reckless change can be reverted.
