tox looks better to me because they provide the source. however i wasn't able to find any info about the project leads which is something a trustworthy project should provide.

True, but not that hard to find out if you whois the domain
and

Don't forget though that source means nothing if you don't a) read through the entire source and b) compile it yourself. Clicking the binaries link is in no means safe. If build agents do weird stuff and rewrite small parts during build, it's still not trustworthy. Apparently even truecrypt is at the point where it's not sure if it's still trustworthy and they're talking about just redo-ing the whole thing from scratch.

I was mostly trying to point out that in these cases it's best to compile from source, even if you don't understand the code :)
Application error: warning -> battery failure imminent ~ shutting down NOW permanent == message to Earth -- finalized shudown code ... 6ikf9849l+!~:'?.|\
i think it's rather alarming if you stop understanding your own code... That's usually the point where you should notice something in the project is going wrong
most bugs should (hopefully) be attributed to forgetfulness, distraction, not fully understanding the requirements (which isn't the same as the actual code), ...
The code itself should be transparent at all times, imho. If it's not, a refactoring phase should be planned in and fixed asap.
As a small side note, I was actually referring to non-programmers that want to use these privacy related programs :)
