At risk

At risk: one person wrote most commits, and no one has committed by hand in 90 days.

Why

One person wrote 90% of human commits in the last year, and no human has committed in the last 90 days. (source 1, source 2)

What would change this

A human commit in the last 90 days, or a second person taking a large share of commits.
