No. As a user of your package, I want assurance that the package you publish does what it says it does and does not contain malware. This is different from the package having been published by you. I want protection against you going rogue, not only from you being impersonated. 2FA on your side does not protect me against you going rogue. A comaintainer does.
So the correct quote would be: Anyone that cannot find a comaintainer to review all the code and to prevent deliberate sabotage has absolutely no business writing widely depended upon FOSS software.
