bus-factor

bus-factor-js

A tool for analysing the bus factor of open-source projects on npm and their dependencies.

For example:

$ npm i -g bus-factor
$ busfactor preact

preact has 1 author(s) and 3 maintainer(s).
Authors:
- Jason Miller <[e-mail]>
Maintainers:
- developit <[e-mail]>
- lukeed <[e-mail]>
- marvinhagemeister <[e-mail]>

Many projects are under-maintained, often for want of funding. This tool is intended to help identify those projects in order to organize labor and materials to support them.
