He didn't look over the diff. He was upbraided by other maintainers for this.

You bet he was upbraided. Some of us take great pains to go over every
line in a 1000+ line diff file (usually not for security, but out of sheer
paranoia of breaking the package in a hideous way, and losing even more
time trying to get it to work again)...

However, as others said, don't expect normal diff-looking to catch a
really bright piece of obsfucation (which was NOT the case of mICQ).
