I'm mentally trying to process how that would work.

I'm pretty sure you can literally upload anything. Like I bet I can make a quick game called "I'll erase your hard drive" and the first thing you do is allow me to get admin/sudo access.

And that might live in itch until it's manually removed. (As opposed to automatically)

Technically it is not a malicious program if it asks for permission (and for added security add a nonliability statement the users agree to).

How it would work is if somebody uploads something the server does a virus check with any kind of antimalware and then any known worms or trojans do not get visibility or just explicitly do not get published at all.
