Caution

Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.

Why

One person wrote 84% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. (source 1, source 2)
Maintainers took a median of 48 days to first respond to 11 recent issues. (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4)

What would change this

A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
Maintainers reply faster, with a median under 30 days.
