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

The trojaning of mICQ

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).
