You trust dozens of packages. Do you know who's behind them?
Maintainers plugin shows you the people and organizations behind every dependency in your project — their GitHub profiles, how many packages they maintain, and how to support them.
One abandoned package can break your build. One mass-resignation can tank your stack. Know your supply chain.
What you get:
- Automatic parsing of lock files:
composer.lockfor PHPpackage-lock.jsonfor JavaScriptgo.sumfor Go
- GitHub avatars and org icons for instant recognition
- Two views: browse by package or by maintainer
- Direct links to funding pages — sponsor the people who keep your code running
Why it matters:
That mass layoff at a tech company? Some of those engineers maintained packages you depend on. That solo dev who burned out? Maybe they wrote your HTTP client.
Maintainers plugin turns your dependency tree from a list of strings into a map of humans.
