We do have security-related stuff to worry about: #77, #80, #81. But we realistically can't prevent every scenario. Would be good to grab something off the shelf which sets appropriate expectations and protects us. The no-warranty clause in the MIT license helps, but we might want something a bit stronger.

Looking at the policies we have, I think we can also do with a General Terms of Use document. This should re-state very prominently the no-warranty basis of the contributed packages, as well as disclaimers for the repository itself. Probably need to add other legal language.

I can start to put something together and make it available as a PR for comment.

In the meantime, do post here anything that could be a good precedent.

I looked at r-multiverse/r-multiverse.github.io#25 and submitted a review. Excellent work!

Should we expand the terms of use to include Contributors, package maintainers, and our current code of conduct? As I mentioned, https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-policies covers scenarios that we should explicitly anticipate and forbid.
