  • Why Software Projects need Heroes (Lessons Learned from 1100+ Projects) (2019) by Suvodeep Majumder, Joymallya Chakraborty, Amritanshu Agrawal & Tim Menzies

Based on the analysis, they find the majority of all projects are "hero" projects and commits from hero developers (who contribute the most code) result in far fewer bugs than other developers -- which is contrary to the literature.
