It's not how free software works, but there are some interesting projects 
working on (distributed, not centrally managed) code review systems that are 
kind of similar in spirit to what OP describes.

That is, individuals and organizations can publish the results of their code 
audits publicly in a standardized format, tied to a package artifact, and a 
downstream consumer could denote which individuals and organizations they trust 
to perform said audits. 

It's technically possible and not an entirely ridiculous idea, it's just 
economically challenging.  How do you find enough people willing and able to 
audit a package (including e.g. autotools build scripts), in multiple, to the 
level of scrutiny that would be required to catch something like this.
