Thanks,
I should have noted for the context that he is forking the Linkify words in post to work with the Prolog reference manual so that when a predicate indicator is used ([module:]name{/|//}arity?) it will link directly to the predicate, e.g. append/3
I don’t see him adding malicious AJAX calls but it is nice to know to look for this when downloading themes created by others. 
The communication on the component development is in a public post for those interested.
