Supporting Material

A recent study shows that 70% of vulnerabilities lies in outdated libraries. One of the key habits of security professionals is to keep a system secure by keeping all software up to date.

Association

I am the maintainer of Meta Package Manager, and I created it several years ago with this main objective: keep a system secure by inspecting all outdated software.

Thanks @Lissy93 for the prompt reply.

I am also maintaining several popular awesome list and the editorial curation is a hard and constant work. You need to keep the right balance of signal to noise. I proposed this PR as a way to gather feedback on the pertinence of my proposal. So I'm totally OK if you reject this PR. Fell free to close it.

Thanks for pointing out other alternatives but don't think my tool is a good fit for these. I'm realising my project is still too confidential. I'll wait to see if it naturally gets traction before trying to promote it.

Thanks again @Lissy93 and thanks for your excellent checklist!
