The arch wiki docs are usually very good but the sudo page is
dangerous.

The offered configs suggest adding editors to sudo when sudoedit should
only be added and only to a set file otherwise sudo is basically just
su and without a password in the example so suid all due to the user
being able to edit sudoers or escape the editor.
