submitting a patch for review to test the strength of the review process is not equivalent to inducing PTSD in people without consent or breaking in to the Whitehouse. You're being ridiculous. Linux runs many of the worlds financial, medical, etc etc... institutions and they have exposed how easy it is to introduce a backdoor.
If this was Facebook and not Linux everyone would look upon this very differently.
The fact that issues in Linux can kill people is exactly why they need leadership buy in first.
There are ways to test social vulnerabilities (pentesting) and they all involve asking for permission first.
