My team at OpenSauced has been working really hard on a new feature called StarSearch. With StarSearch, you can get otherwise hard to discover information about open source projects and contributors.
We’re live on Product Hunt! Join the conversation and let us know what features you'd like to see added.
In this demo, I talk about the lottery factor - the risk if one of your top contributors leaves a project - and take a look at how Laravel fairs.

Fascinating discussion on the 'lottery factor' in open source projects! StarSearch seems like a valuable tool for identifying key contributors and mitigating potential risks. I'm looking forward to seeing how this feature evolves.
Sure, "lottery factor" sounds ominous! How does StarSearch determine the key contributors and the impact of their potential departure? Looking forward to more insights on this!
I think adding a trend or alert for this is possible. Some thoughts, in addition to last commit correlate frequency from core contributors.
Also including core team comments could send a signal that something is up or down
