A Scottish nonprofit called the Software Stewardship Lab has launched to research open source supply chain security and maintainer burnout.
The organization aims to build an observatory for monitoring critical open source packages and their hidden dependencies, which could give operators better visibility into supply chain risks. It also intends to fund sustainability researchers and study AI's impact on maintainer burnout.
