Describe the solution you'd like

In assessing the security and trustworthiness of open-source libraries, two additional metrics should be considered: the diversity of contributors and the age of their GitHub accounts. This approach could offer early indicators of potential security risks, as seen in scenarios like CVE-2024-3094. While not foolproof—given the possibility of using older accounts for malicious purposes—these metrics serve as valuable signals. Specifically, libraries with contributions from newer accounts or from individuals with limited cross-project involvement could be flagged for closer scrutiny. Conversely, libraries benefiting from longstanding contributors with extensive cross-project activity should be deemed more reliable. This system recognizes the potential for false positives but aims to enhance overall security postures by identifying unusual contribution patterns indicative of risks.
