In our work, we consider that a system is in trouble if more than 50% of its files become orphan (i.e., without a main author).\r\n\r\nMore details on our work in this preprint: https://peerj.com/preprints/1233\r\n\r\nWe calculated the TF for **Faker** and obtained a value of **23**.\r\n\r\nThe developers responsible for this TF are:\r\n\r\nFrancois Zaninotto - author of 26% of the files\r\nJohn Was - author of 10% of the files\r\nBernhard Essl - author of 3% of the files\r\nHugo Fonseca - author of 3% of the files\r\nTz-Huan Huang - author of 3% of the files\r\nTim Düsterhus - author of 2% of the files\r\nRoman Shvets - author of 2% of the files\r\numpirsky - author of 2% of the files\r\nDomingo Oropeza - author of 1% of the files\r\nognjen miletic - author of 1% of the files\r\nbazo - author of 1% of the files\r\nAbu Ashraf Masnun - author of 1% of the files\r\nMikulas - author of 1% of the files\r\nWouterJ - author of 1% of the files\r\ntoin0u - author of 1% of the files\r\nWim Vandersmissen - author of 1% of the files\r\npdaether - author of 1% of the files\r\nAlesÌŒ FarcÌŒnik - author of 1% of the files\r\nYAMANE Nana - author of 1% of the files\r\nzaid-86 - author of 1% of the files\r\nHuy TQ - author of 1% of the files\r\nUlrik Johansson - author of 1% of the files\r\nBirkir Rafn Gudjonsson - author of 1% of the files\r\n\r\n\r\nTo validate our results, we would like to ask **Faker** developers the following three brief questions:\r\n\r\n(a) Do you agree that the listed developers are the main developers of **Faker**?\r\n\r\n(b) Do you agree that **Faker** will be in trouble if the listed developers leave the project (e.g., if they win in the lottery, to be less morbid)?\r\n\r\n(c) Does **Faker** have some characteristics that would attenuate the loss of the listed developers (e.g., detailed documentation)?\r\n\r\nThanks in advance for your collaboration,\r\n\r\nGuilherme Avelino\r\nPhD Student\r\nApplied Software Engineering Group (ASERG)\r\nUFMG, Brazil\r\nhttp://aserg.labsoft.dcc.ufmg.br/\r\n"}}
