The Risks of Single Maintainer Dependencies - John McBride, VMware

John McBride is a single maintainer for Cobra; a Go command line bootstrapping library and core dependency for many CNCF projects, including Kubernetes, Helm, Etcd, Istio, Linkerd, and many more. John will discuss the challenges of being a single maintainer on such an important project, the lottery factor, the need for contributor community, and the secure software supply chain implications this has for the entire CNCF ecosystem.
