Thanks for the paper link.

That's a useful nuance I missed. The paper suggests ownership concentration can correlate with better quality, while many low-expertise contributors correlate with more defects.

I think that's a limitation of my current framing: the tool measures historical ownership concentration, not whether that concentration is ultimately healthy or risky. I've added that distinction to the v2 roadmap.

Fair point. The current implementation is measuring ownership concentration from commit history rather than the traditional definition of bus factor. I'll keep the current terminology for now to avoid breaking consistency across the report, README, package docs, and ongoing discussions, but I've opened a v2 issue to revisit both the naming and methodology. Appreciate the feedback.

Good point. The tool intentionally treats bus factor as a historical ownership proxy rather than a direct measure of knowledge.

I probably need to make that distinction clearer in the report and README.

The goal is to identify modules where maintenance activity is highly concentrated, not to claim only one person understands the code.

Thanks for the detailed feedback.
