I just now found about Open Source Project Criticality Score under the Open Source Security Foundation (OpnSSF) from Daniel Stenberg's blog post.

He wrote about the critical C projects (all calculations are done only for Github based projects), so I decided to look at the list of the Python projects.

It is a score between 0 (least critical) and 1 (most critical), and the algorithm and details are explained in the repository.

The list of top 10 Python projects in their resultset

• ansible
• salt
• core
• pandas
• scikit-learn
• numpy
• cpython
• airflow
• erpnext
• matplotlib

It is interesting to see that the CPython is at number 8 in the list and the top two projects are configuration management systems.

You can see all the different language details here.
