Audited as in where? I spent some time on reading about it and it's website
gives a comparison matrix of phpMyAdmin and adminer. There were some issues
stated in phpMyAdmin which refer to Clickjacking and referer leakage. It
also showed that there were 10 security related bugs in phpMyAdmin and only
one in an year. I went through this thread as well.

My intention is not to point or show some kind of flame war but to tell
that this is all my audit includes.
As I am a beginner packager I am learning things now. Thanks for your
patience in explaining things to me.

P.S: On the whole i understood how important it is before considering
to upload a package :-)
