Understanding the Stewardship Role in CRA Compliance
summary
Regulatory guidance sharpens responsibilities: open source stewardship is product‑specific, not foundation‑wide, and most stewards already meet the basic policy and vulnerability workflows required by CRA; the Commission FAQ and delegated acts clarify that stewards aren’t subject to fines and that reporting will support an API from day one. Horizontal standards still lag, SBOM work needs more rigour, and downstream users need reusable risk assessments and an Article 25 collective attestation model to scale compliance across 80–90% of European software.
