Bus factor of Uniswap/v2-core

What is Bus factor?

It is basically a number of most active contributors responsible for 80% of contributions.

Bus factor tries to assess "What happens if a key member of the team is hit by a bus?". The more there are key members, the lower the risk.

The Uniswap/v2-core repository has a bus factor of 2.

High risk, a lot of knowledge concentrated in a few people

Repository summary

Uniswap/v2-core is a GitHub repository for the core smart contracts of Uniswap V2, a decentralized protocol for automated liquidity provision on Ethereum.

Uniswap V2 was developed in response to the popularity and shortcomings of the first version. It includes several significant improvements to the protocol, including the ability for anyone to create any token pair they want, more robust price feeds, and technical improvements that should reduce the potential for user error.

Developed in Solidity, the contracts in the repository include:

UniswapV2ERC20: An ERC20 contract that's extended by UniswapV2Pair.
UniswapV2Pair: A contract that manages liquidity provision and swap functionality for a given pair of ERC20 tokens.
Interfaces: A directory of Solidity interface contracts that define standard ways for interacting with different parts of the Uniswap ecosystem.

Every contract has been thoroughly tested and audited for maximum security. However, it is recommended to only use this codebase as a reference. Direct interaction with the contracts should be done through the Uniswap V2 SDK or the interface.

The Uniswap/v2-core GitHub repository also includes a variety of tests and a detailed document of the protocol and its codebase to help developers understand its inner workings.

Adding liquidity to a Uniswap liquidity pool using these contracts can earn returns through trading fees whenever a swap occurs in the pool. However, they allow anyone to become a market maker by depositing pairs of tokens into a smart contract.
