The NSA should do that.

If the NSA were doing their job, if they really looked that the 
landscape and wondered where the risks are...THEY would be doing this 
code review.  (They probably are.)  And publishing the results.  (They 
are not.)  And suggesting good fixes.  (I can dream...)

Cyber threats are a place where defense really can work.  It is such a 
shame the US government chose to militarize the internet instead of 
making it safer for everyone.  Safer for everyone, they are too jealous 
for that.
