I think moria1 runs its own, and Faravahar runs its own. I've lost track of the others, but I'd guess that bastet also runs its own, and that maatuska pulls numbers from a bwauth that tjr runs.
Hmm. I wish we were more transparent about who is running scanners and which bwauths consume results from which scanners. Something to keep in mind for those of us working on next-gen replacement scanners.
It is at the discretion of the bwauth operator to ensure that they're using a trusted source for their data. To me, that means anything other than running the code myself is utterly unacceptable, other operators might make other choices. I think it makes sense to say that the operator of a given bw auth is *responsible* for whatever they're voting on, whether they run the bwauth themselves or not.
