Inquiry: Country of Origin for PartKeepr

[Zhang, Cynthia X. (GSFC-710.0)[BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON]]

 

Hello, my name is Cynthia Zhang and I am a Supply Chain Risk Management Analyst at NASA. NASA is currently conducting a supply chain assessment of PartKeepr. We are interested in confirming the following information:

1. Is there an organization which sponsors/publishes the project, or a primary developer who audits the code for potential vulnerabilities, errors, or malicious code? Y/N
2. Please list the country or list of countries where most contributions originate from.

Thank you,

Cynthia

Hello Cynthia,

as you probably know this is a public mailing list/discussion group of an open source project, with most resources available on GitHub. There is, to my knowledge, no "main developer", so you'll probably not be able to get any "official" answers.

I am not aware of any activities or a sponsoring like you described. These would usually be listed in README.md[1]/THANKS[2], would show up in security advisories [3] or be visible in commit messages [4].

PartKeeper was originally written by "Drachenkaetzchen" with "christianlupus" also showing a bunch of additions [5]. Both share >50% of committed lines and are – according to their profiles – located in Germany.

(Just to make it clear: I am just a user, not involved in development of PartKeepr and just pointing you to public resources.)
