How do we work with maintainers?

We analyze and aggregate the most meaningful industry standards, and pay partnered open source maintainers (“lifters”) to ensure their projects meet those standards. Examples of standards include annotating licenses, documenting security policies, properly tracking and communicating package dependencies, and implementing two-factor authentication. 


We provide access to a streamlined dashboard that helps maintainers efficiently manage common package maintenance tasks, and we provide help and guidance to keep the work as quick and painless as possible.

We pay maintainers income based on a number of factors, including customer usage and strategic importance of a package to the overall health and resilience of the open source software supply chain. Read more about how we pay maintainers.
