I'd also look at other repos. Admittedly for the core code it has been mostly me. I think there is an intimidation factor. When you create a library this performance oriented it is hard to get people comfortable working on the core.

But things like the site, docs etc.. are much more contributors making more substantial submissions: https://github.com/solidjs/solid-site/graphs/contributors https://github.com/solidjs/solid-docs/graphs/contributors

We would have never gotten the docs translated into 15 languages otherwise. I do agree that one should be cautious regardless. But I don't want to underplay the contributions of many contributors putting in improvements every day.

There are projects of mine where I'm the only relevant core contributor but the ecosystem is developed by many other people and it's largely worked out fine.

I would hope that if either of us got hit by the proverbial bus that people involved in the ecosystem would pour themselves a strong drink and dig in to the necessary maintenance anyway.

Projects I've ended up moving on from have regularly worked out that way, and I think that while solid might not be as popular as some people would want for something to bet their production code on, it does seem to me that it's popular -enough- that I don't believe you're a truly dangerous single point of failure here.
