Upstream Weekly

Decision in one minute

stripe/stripe-node receives a Healthy verdict, supported by massive adoption with 14,540,809 downloads last week on npm and an active release cadence of 109 releases in the last 365 days. The project maintains solid security and governance, including an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 7.2 out of 10 and checks passing on the default branch. The primary concern is low maintainer engagement, with maintainers responding to only 9 percent of sampled items.
