At risk
At risk: one person wrote most commits, and no one has committed by hand in 90 days.
Why
- One person wrote 78% of human commits in the last year, and no human has committed in the last 90 days. (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 human commit in the last 90 days, or a second person taking a large share of commits.
- A license file is added.
