Will someone/people vet the exploits to make sure they are not trojan
horses/self harming (e.g. the rm -rf * embedded in it somewhere?).
Strikes me as a heck of a watering hole attack potentially (and yes,
list members should know better, but ... yeah).

FWIW, I've always been tempted to remove the latter guideline,

Then perhaps just remove it? It always seemed to me a strange
restriction. Other guidelines are either technical in nature or they are
intended to reduce the amount of noise. This restriction seems to be
neither.

Of you can replace it with something like this:
- Please only send fully working exploits which themselves are open-source.
