the safety of gnupg

I've just been reading some rather silly things about gnupg except for
one practical point: Who has actually checked the source code for it to
see whether it's trustworthy, etc?

And, of course, the next thing would be: Who would they be that we
could trust them, too? After a bit of Googling around, I'm darned if I
can find out, nor think of the right terms to search for.

Naturally, this extends to other open-source programs. Which ones do
get vetted?
