Hi, please make me the CEO of npm. I will immediately sell the company to Microsoft, get investors some money back, and have github run it and integrate it into Github Package Registry. Also, make me CTO of Chef. I will cancel the ICE contract instead of emo blogging my feelings

It's probably important to not hand over everything to GitHub. Everything else sounds great.

Who would you argue should take control of / pay for the registry should npm become insolvent?

Either node foundation or a major company that needs node to survive. Governance should be community-driven regardless of funding stream (like Rubygems and Cargo)

I don't disagree with either of those points but I don't think OpenJSF has the financing. To me, having MSFT take over bridges a gap until eventually community-driven governance.

It's much cheaper than people think.

Yeah you're probably right. I just always think of the exponential growth of the registry and assume it's a lot of money.

Consider that GitHub permanently stores every badge on S3 as well as every image uploaded into a comment (including images pasted into comments that were never published). Storage is very cheap.

But you don't need the people to scale as packages scale
