Proposal: Add OpenSSF Best Practices Badge

[domnomg]

What is the problem this feature will solve?

The problem is the lack of formal recognition of Node.js’s adherence to best practices in security and development. While Node.js is widely used in production environments, particularly in security-critical applications, there is no clear, visible certification to assure users and developers of the project's commitment to these standards. This can lead to concerns about transparency, trust, and whether the project consistently follows industry best practices.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

I propose that the Node.js project works toward obtaining the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge. This badge serves as a formal certification that the project meets established standards in security and development. By adding this badge, Node.js can visibly demonstrate its commitment to safety, transparency, and industry best practices, addressing any potential concerns and further strengthening its reputation as a reliable and secure platform.

What alternatives have you considered?
