As per the :pep:`Unsupported Platforms section of PEP 11 <11#unsupported-platforms>`,
porting Python to an unsupported platform is treated as a third-party project.
If you choose to report such a vulnerability to Python, please follow the
requirements of this guide. Note that these reports may be shared with
parties who expressed interested in the relevant platforms and will
generally be handled according to the relevant maintainers' security
policies. These reports may closed if the maintainers are unknown or
unresponsive.
For these reports, the PSRT treats them as vulnerability reports for a third-party
port, not as Python vulnerabilities.
If you choose to report such an issue to Python, follow the requirements
of this guide and include the relevant platform and maintainer context.
The PSRT forwards these reports to platform maintainers (or other interested
parties) and they are usually handled under the relevant maintainers' security
policies. These reports will be closed if the maintainers are unknown or unresponsive.
