[OpenSSF] Raising our bus factor

[Zeitsperre]

Addressing a Problem?

I recently calculated the bus factor (for more info: A Novel Approach for Estimating Truck Factors) and landed on these stats:

BF = 2 (coverage = 37.92%)
BF authors (Developer;Files;Percentage):
Zeitsperre;181;75.42
Pascal Bourgault;86;35.83

This meets the suggested minimum required for OpenSSF Silver (BF=2), but just barely. This makes sense as @aulemahal and I are the project maintainers, but our overlap (coverage) isn't great. The metric is largely based on authorship, not reviews, and is possibly skewed by early formatting commits from myself.

Potential Solution

I can see a few ways to fix this:

• Identifying another maintainer who can be added to the role assignments here, on (Test/)PyPI, and on conda-forge.
• Sharing more of the maintenance role by opening issues that other maintainers can get to on their own time.
• (Myself) Focusing on raising these factors across more of our projects by identify maintainers sharing knowledge required for a base skill set needed to ensure maintenance and updates are regularly performed.

Additional context

This is a relatively small project when it comes to developers, and our other offerings are generally relatively weaker when it comes to this metric. I see that the priority should be placed on those projects first, but I wanted to set up an issue here for tracking purposes and idea sharing (more pressing than a discussion thread, IMO).
