Making one a maintainer (with merge and possibly even direct commit/push permissions) is handing them a key to the kingdom. Recruiting a maintainer out of the blue without them being already contributor and long term participant in the project is questionable.

I believe that the bad actor was a contributor for several years before becoming a maintainer
