Roughly, yes. But it may be just one developer such as burntsushi.

For example, by adding the aes-gcm crate to your dependencies you pull whooping 19 dependencies in total, but 13 of those are part of the RustCrypto org and remaining 5 are fairly "foundational" (libc, getrandom, cfg-if, typenum, subtle), meaning that security implications of such "big" dependency tree are not as bad as they seem at first glance.
