You know… Ruby Central’s takeover of rubygems GitHub org ONLY worked because it could be executed within seconds, and by doing so, prevent the possibility of revert. If the ownership change was a PR it would never have been approved. If RC is “right”, why did they need the atomic switch?

One takeaway is that the open source world is an amazing place! It's marvelous how well this usually works. This is distributed trust at scale via education and support (rather than control). All the work to help people learn security and provide best practices mostly seems to work. Wonderful!

Companies should scan their open source. Full adoption of trusted publishing could have foiled NPM’s Shai Halud. Fighting about shared ownership models is horribly destructive when it makes the people leave that understand these problems. That’s the real security vulnerability.

If all you need to make your supply chain secure is CLAs for devs and a non-profit administrative staff holding keys to the world, remember that most package managers still run untrusted code on install, packages go live with minimal scanning, and best practice publishing security adoption is low.

You might wonder, “how can a group of friends be sufficient for global enterprise software supply chain security?” The answer for me is that these people were there BECAUSE it was so important.

The team that managed rubygems was formed by building social connections with people that cared enough to work on rubygems in their free time. It is at its core a trust based team of equals. This is why corporate takeovers that take advantage of that trust hurt so much. Trust is all we had.

So this was nothing to do with operator agreements. The original RubyGems maintainer team would have been the right group to decide upon and figure out this transition.
