Originally I called this osv-detector because I felt "auditor" and "scanner" were a bit overloaded, and I was considering if this was to be published as a package somewhere, osv-detector would be less likely to have already been taken.
However, I'm now thinking if it would be better to call it something else for a few reasons:
- I'm thinking about additional checks we could be doing, like Support checking if things are approaching EOL with endoflife.date #75 (I don't think this is probably worth it)
- Go packages/binaries are not restricted to unique names, and osv-detector might not be as easy to find as say "security-auditor"
- osv-detector is sort of wrong, as this tool isn't for "detecting OSVs"...
But the real blocker for me is what to actually call it instead - I'd prefer to not use "lockfile" (e.g lockfile-auditor) because that'd put us back in the same place if we start auditing more than them (but then maybe it's fine?)
