Participants of a software project have a significant impact on whether the project could achieve success, and the relevant information can reflect some trustworthy properties of software. By studying a large number of OSS projects in SourceForge, the role configuration of these projects is analyzed, and some latent frequent patterns are discovered in this paper. It prepares the ground for quantification and utilization of the software trustworthiness evidence from the roles information.
