No, we don't. We see build system attacks, such as injecting malicious scripts into their CI and getting malicious code into the artifact for use at runtime. You don't see someone doing a drive-by PR to a `setup.py`.

Not a drive-by PR, but once a package is compromised it often does spread to its reverse-dependencies via mechanisms like setup.py at build time. There was case like this with setup.py less than two months ago: https://www.stepsecurity.io/blog/forcememo-hundreds-of-githu...

Lots of npm supply chain attacks propagate at build time via post-install hooks, too.
