Now imagine a breakin on a site hosted on winehq. The consequences would be far worse than for the average toy project. Wine depends on people trusting us that the code is legally clean (especially due to various FUD campaigns claiming otherwise). A breakin will always result in claims that the codebase has been polluted with MS code.
You cannot modify the codebase even if you break into the server. Everything in the git repository is authenticated by its SHA-1, so any change would be immediately noticed.
