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)
What would change this
- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.)
