criticality_score VS wg-securing-critical-projects

TL;DR: I could extend the Criticality Score algorithm with usage metrics from Ecosyste.ms API and apply it to all open source accounts under the Open Collective, so we have a new ranking now! I also made it possible to change the weights of each parameter so that you can try the algorithm by yourself.

As mentioned in the description, the score is based on the OpenSSF criticality score. I dropped some of the features that are difficult to get from GitHub due to crawl limits, as well as changing some weights.

I am doing some research based on the criticality scores assigned by this project to different technologies: https://github.com/ossf/criticality_score

LF OpenSSF "criticality score" for 100,000 Github repos, https://github.com/ossf/criticality_score & https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uahUIUa82J6WetAqtxCM...

> Generate a criticality score for every open source project. Create a list of critical projects that the open source community depends on. Use this data to proactively improve the security posture of these critical projects ... A project's criticality score defines the influence and importance of a project. It is a number between 0 (least-critical) and 1 (most-critical). It is based on the following algorithm by Rob Pike

Top 20 projects:

> node, kubernetes, rust, spark, nixpkgs, cmsSW, tensorflow, symfony, DefinitelyTyped, git, azure-docs, magento2, rails, ansible, pytorch, PrestaShop, framework, ceph, php-src, linux

It's security-specific, but I appreciate that in the wake of Heartbleed, the industry really did take things seriously, from the Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative (now OpenSSF's Securing Critical Projects Working Group) to Project Zero, the latter of which is still quite active testing everything from Windows filesystem "filter drivers" to Apple's ImageIO library to old versions of Acroread to GhostScript sandboxing.

I am not sure point you are making here? Are you saying linux is freaking stable, not even linux kernel developers gonna agree with you! (https://github.com/ossf/wg-securing-critical-projects/blob/main/presentations/The_state_of_the_Linux_kernel_security.pdf)
