Are you saying reading source code is the same as reading a README?

I'm saying I never looked at the source code of stacker.news and I never even visited the repository. If I, for some reason, would find a problem/vulnerability, just by navigating the website I would not know how to report the issue.

I'm a user, not a programmer or developer, so I don't generally look at Github and other sites where you store/share the source code. Just out of curiosity, I've just checked the FAQ and there is in fact a line at the bottom of the page, but there is no index and that's a lot of scrolling and reading.

Someone motivated to report the issue would eventually find that information after some hops. Others less motivated, would not report or would write it in a comment, and I don't blame them.

I'm just saying that "security.txt" is straight forward and kind of a standard, so independently of the website or project that is the first place I look at.

Ah ok, I see where the misunderstanding comes from. I must admit, I didn't read the link you provided properly. I just assumed that you meant we should create a SECURITY.txt inside our repository. This didn't make sense to me since you mentioned you wouldn't look inside the repository anyway.

But now I properly read what is written in the link. You mean we should have a security.txt hosted here. This makes sense, thanks! I will create a ticket for this.

but there is no index

There is an index:

We also have a search function integrated in the index:

Always learning.

As we do :) Btw, thanks for your advice regarding security.txt. I appreciate it (my previous responses may not have sounded like I do, lol)
