An absolutely ridiculous amount of open source is one person projects. I have the data to prove it

I think the ssl suite of tools is an example of an essential componetn of the internet, that when it goes wrong ends up being 1 person maintaining it.

I think the issue was heart bleed or something, I can't remember but I am sure it was just one person.
