👩‍💻 Contributing

We welcome and encourage contributions, including issues, discussions, and PR's. Please make sure to read our Contributing Guidelines and our Code of Conduct before doing so.

🔐 Security

Found a security issue? Please visit the security issue reporting process of the individual project you are reporting against. Most projects have a SECURITY.md file in their top-level repository with specific instructions on how to report security vulnerabilities. If a SECURITY.md file doesn't exist, you can report security issues via the "Security and quality" tab in the project's repository.

LAST RESORT: If the project-specific security process is unclear, please open a public issue and tag @Luap99 and @mheon. They will help route your report appropriately. Do not include security issue details in the public issue - only mention the project for which you want to report the issue.
