Caution

Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.

Why

One person wrote 91% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. (source 1, source 2)
GitHub found no license file, so the code is not clearly licensed for reuse. (source 1)

What would change this

A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
A license file is added.
