The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is proud to join GitHub and a global community of contributors in honoring the individuals who steward and sustain Open Source projects.
About 50 maintainers came together for Maintainer Month in May to share their stories behind the scenes. These maintainers not only review issues and merge pull requests—they also navigate community dynamics, mentor new contributors, and increasingly adopt security best practices to protect their code and users.
Let's amplify their voices. Together, we can ensure maintainers receive the recognition, support, and resources they need—not only in May, but all year long.
