The Google Open Source Maintenance Crew will support under-resourced critical open-source products to fix security issues.

Google has created a new "Open Source Maintenance Crew" who will help upstream maintainers of critical open-source projects to handle bugs and patching processes. 

The new team is part of Google's contribution to the White House's push to improve cybersecurity in open source and protect software supply chains following the White House's January summit with major tech vendors, including Microsoft, Google, IBM and Amazon Web Services.
