We could add a new optional "forked-from-repo" field to easily indicate when a project is based on another.

In case a bug is found, this field would allow to easily find related projects, which might have similar security issues.

Would it be helpful if the commit hash (short) is added along with the url and name of the project?

forked-from-repo: "name:projectname,url=https://github.com/solana-labs/solana,chash=4e5edd8a461dfa2304d721ebd378ae82b0abb856"

Or we can add branch name or release tag, instead of commit hash.

I think this sounds and is a much more efficient and effective way of catching a problem before it happens. It would save time , headaches, money and keep everything transparent to a certain extent.
