patch-package

Dependency profilecaution

The package has 14 runtime dependencies, including filesystem, process, parsing, and package-manager helpers; this is a meaningful dependency surface for a utility and modestly increases maintenance exposure.

Maintainerscaution

Only one registry account has publish access. The repository is user-owned rather than organization-backed, so there is little visible publishing redundancy.

Project backingcaution

The repository is owned by the individual user ds300 rather than an organization, so the single registry maintainer represents a genuinely thin visible backing structure.

Release historycaution

The package has existed for over nine years with 99 releases and a historical median interval of about 4 days, showing substantial maturity; only one release occurred in the last 12 months.

Repo commit activitycaution

The repository recorded zero commits and zero active maintainers in the last three months. This is the strongest current abandonment concern, although the recent release and long history provide some compensation.
