Lodash transitions from single-maintainer model to collaborative governance under OpenJS Foundation with Sovereign Tech Agency support. The utility library, powering 9.3 million websites and 2.4 billion weekly npm downloads, will focus on sustainability rather than new features. Key initiatives include establishing a Technical Steering Committee, deprecating fragmented package variants, restoring CI systems, improving security posture with threat models and formal CVE processes, and progressively rewriting the library using native JavaScript functions. The approach mirrors the successful Express 5.0 revitalization strategy, emphasizing that open source sustainability requires active community governance and real funding.
