GOVERNANCE.md, and the written policies a reader has to be able to point at - #182
Conversation
…int at GOVERNANCE.md says how decisions are made (maintainer-led, argued in public, recorded in the specification), who holds which role (maintainer, committer, contributor) with what responsibilities, and what makes the project continue if one person disappears: two people who can merge and release, own the organization and the package, and reach the site. CONTRIBUTING.md gains three sections that existed as practice and not as text: Coding standards (the ruff rule sets, the formatter, mypy --strict, how an exception is written), the test policy stated as a MUST under Tests first, and Code review (how a review is conducted, what it checks, what makes a change acceptable). SECURITY.md gains the response process, step by step with its timelines, and a supported-versions table that no longer names 0.6.x. The community-files test asserts each new heading and the phrases the best-practices criteria read. Signed-off-by: arpan <contact@arpanghoshal.com>

Allow the committer to acknowledge reports during maintainer absence.
The required acknowledgement must come “from the maintainer.” This conflicts with GOVERNANCE.md, which assigns either role holder the ability to answer a private vulnerability report. If the maintainer is unavailable, the committer cannot satisfy this response process within 72 hours. Change the role wording to include the committer or another defined backup role.

What this changes
Documents only. Four things that were practice and not text:
GOVERNANCE.md(new): how decisions are made, the three roles and who holds them, and continuity (two people who can merge and release, own the organization and the package, and reach the site).CONTRIBUTING.md: a Coding standards section (the ruff rule sets, the formatter,mypy --strict, how an exception is written), the test policy stated once as a MUST under Tests first, and a Code review section (how a review is conducted, what it must check, what makes a change acceptable). Independent review is unchanged and follows it.SECURITY.md: a Response process section (acknowledgement, assessment, fix, disclosure, credit, each with its timeline) and a supported-versions table that no longer says0.6.x.These are the
governance,roles_responsibilities,access_continuity,coding_standards,test_policy_mandated,code_review_standards,vulnerability_response_processandmaintenance_or_updatecriteria of the OpenSSF Best Practices silver and gold levels.Before merging, three settings make the continuity section true as written:
