Personally, I doubt this. Putting aside the fact that this is coming from Lunduke, it's not uncommon for governments or companies to sponsor open source projects. The STF currently also invests in various projects like Python and ActivityPub, I don't see this as necessarily nefarious and seriously doubt this is some evil scheme to backdoor arch.
