Sure, you can impeach a developer, but it's not simple or precedented.
To deny access to a sponsoree, you simply mention what he or she did
wrong on debian-private (and maybe debian-devel), and if it's actually
something worth banning them for, nobody's going to sponsor them. And
if someone does, then that developer is putting _their_ reputation on
the line and you can impeach them.
Frankly, you can't stop any developer from getting the sources from
anywhere they want, short of kicking them out. If you upload the
package you take responsibility for it. If you think a particular
upstream or midstream is untrustworthy, than point it out; but in
general, that's the developer's choice and responsiblity.
