[New-bugs-announce] [issue39498] Signpost security considerations in library

[anthony shaw]

New submission from anthony shaw <anthonyshaw at apache.org>:

Within the documentation, there are some really important security considerations for standard library modules. e.g. subprocess, ssl, pickle, xml.

There is currently no "index" of these, so you have to go hunting for them. They're easter eggs within the docs. There isn't a unique admonition type either, so you have to search across many criteria.

In particular for security researchers, it would be useful to consolidate and signpost these security best-practices in one index.

PR to follow,
