The same Tidelift report revealed that 60% of #OpenSource project maintainers are volunteers—and they're less likely to implement security practices than their compensated peers.
It's pretty clear that paid maintainers = safer code: https://thenewstack.io/open-source-paid-maintainers-keep-code-safer-survey-says/

The pool of #OpenSource project maintainers is aging ... and not enough newcomers want the under-compensated, under-appreciated job: https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/18/open_source_maintainers_underpaid/
