Normally if the researchers just wanted to test out this kind of codes, they should commit code changes only to their own fork and then conduct the testing there, and should not request merging their commits to the master working branch at all.
The researchers wanted to test the community trying to see if their bad conduct could be detected for their own agenda (just a new paper on their carrer summary). They didn't request a permission to perform such testes and, if no one detected their bad conduct these bugs could have been reached the main stream branch!
Hopefully the developer community around linux is HUGE and a lot of people worked together to sort out this crazy attempt.
The awesome point of Open source is that you are not alone, all developer are like a big family
