I would be absolutely thrilled to hear about a project/product team conducting and publishing results of third-party audits! That’s a pretty high bar at the moment though; hopefully we can help move it up over time but just the existence of some documentation on security considerations and, as you put it, proof that the authors paid heed to best practices is a good starting point. If you have the expertise available, doing your own audits (or having a teammate do them) is never a bad idea either. Trust, but verify!
