Will any emacs package manager let me audit packages before installing them?

1. Home Manager using Nix

   1 189 7,931 9.9 Nix

   Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

   

   You might want to use nix (the package manager from NixOS) with flakes or niv (to pin your inputs), using home-manager to configure emacs and maybe use rycee's emacs-init module.

2. CodeRabbit

3. nur-combined

   2 4 140 10.0 Nix

   A repository of NUR that combines all repositories [maintainer=@Mic92]

   

   You might want to use nix (the package manager from NixOS) with flakes or niv (to pin your inputs), using home-manager to configure emacs and maybe use rycee's emacs-init module.

4. emacs-overlay

   3 35 553 10.0 Nix

   Bleeding edge emacs overlay [maintainer=@adisbladis]

   

   Depending on your goals, emacs-overlay is also worth a look.

5. elpaca

   4 29 742 8.8 Emacs Lisp

   An elisp package manager

   

   Elpaca has the elpaca-fetch command for this purpose. It fetches a package repository and will display the commit log. Each commit hash is a button which will open a magit diff view if magit is installed. It could very easily be extended to work with vc, ediff, etc. Here's a screenshot of what the update log looks like:
