- Abstract: With the boom in modern software development, open-source software has become
an integral part of various industries, driving progress in computer science.
However, the immense complexity and diversity of the open-source ecosystem also
pose a series of challenges, including issues of quality, security, management,
maintenance, compliance, and sustainability. Existing open-source governance
approaches, while excelling in community building and collaboration, still face
shortcomings in decentralized management, security, and maintenance. To address
these challenges, inspired by the Human Genome Project, we treat the software
source code as software DNA and propose the \textbf{Software Genome Project},
which is geared towards the secure monitoring and exploitation of open-source
software. By identifying and labeling integrated and classified code features
at a fine-grained level, and effectively identifying safeguards for functional
implementations and non-functional requirements at different levels of
granularity, Software Genome Project builds a complete set of software genome
maps to help developers and managers gain a deeper understanding of software
complexity and diversity. By dissecting and summarizing functional and
undesirable genes, Software Genome Project helps facilitate targeted software
remediation and optimization, provides valuable insight and understanding of
the entire software ecosystem, and supports critical development tasks such as
technology selection and open source governance. This project is expected to
drive the evolution of software development towards more efficient, reliable,
and sustainable software solutions.

We use code ownership metrics to investigate the correlation with latent vulnerabilities across five prominent open-source AI software projects.
The findings suggest a positive relationship between high-level ownership (characterised by a limited number of minor contributors) and a decrease in vulnerabilities.
With these novel code ownership metrics, we have implemented a Python-based command-line application to aid project curators and quality assurance professionals in evaluating and benchmarking their on-site projects.
