    private mailing list for the core maintainers."

    project and will not be disseminated to other projects unless it is necessary to get the
    issue fixed."

security_txt:
  served: false
  probed:
    - url: https://buildah.io/.well-known/security.txt

      status: 404
  note: >-
    No RFC 9116 security.txt is served on buildah.io. The disclosure policy is real and
    well-specified, but it is discoverable only through the repository — a machine reading
    the project's website cannot find it. The `SecurityTxt` pointer is NOT wired.
