>From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor:

In software development, a software project's bus factor is a measurement of 
the concentration of information in individual team members. The bus factor is 
the total number of key developers who would need to be incapacitated (as by 
getting hit by a bus) to send the project into such disarray that it would not 
be able to proceed; the project would retain information (such as source code)  
with which no remaining team member is familiar. A high bus factor means that 
many developers would need to be removed before the project would necessarily 
fail.
