I’m a bit puzzled by the wording of this blog post, because it says you’ve worked with Homebrew to do this audit, but your name sounds familiar to me, and indeed if we check Homebrew’s README [1]:
> Homebrew's maintainers are […long list of names…] William Woodruff […]
[1]: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew https://github.com/Homebrew/brew
Is there any reason this is not mentioned in the blog post? I don’t think it would make a difference, but just to clarify things.
- woodruffw 2y agoI wasn’t a maintainer at the time I did the audit :-). I’ve been a non-maintaining “member” of the project for a long time, which is the pseudo-emeritus position we give to previous maintainers who want to continue participating in internal conversations and governance. I was then offered membership again, months after the audit, due to some unrelated work on Homebrew that didn’t exist and wasn’t planned before the audit was planned. This was all disclosed as part of a conflict-of-interest disclosure I did, both with my company and with the Homebrew maintainers, but I agree that the blog post could also say that explicitly. I’ll try and get it added today. TL;DR: I was not a maintainer at the time the audit was performed, but I was previously (years before) and am currently a maintainer. The audit was performed by myself and my colleagues in our professional capacities.
