Well, I suppose noscript.net
is owned by
one of the best virus-writers in the world 
Indeed. Thank goodness he's on our side!
en-US: "It takes a thief to catch a thief."
en-BR: "Set a thief to catch a thief."
Also of note: Did you know that the hacker who tied for first place with Giorgio in that contest,
Sirdarckcat, is also a good friend and sometimes co-author of Giorgio's? Sirdarckcat has attempted many attacks against NoScript (search the linked blog for NoScript-related posts), reporting results to Giorgio privately of course, thus strengthening it even further.
None of us can see every possible nit in our own work, so having it vetted by one of similar skill (and many other elite white-hat hackers) really enhances NS protection, often proactively or preemptively. Too bad MS, Adobe, etc. won't swallow their pride and use independent pen-testers in this fashion.
