Security policy questions #15

Description

@bbenjamin

The Drupal project is considering adding this library as one of our dependencies in order to support the tabbable library in IE11. Before adding any dependency we perform a standard security review. The issue where CSS.escape may be added is https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3113649. I acknowledge the likelihood of security issues in your polyfill are low, so I appreciate the time taken to answer these questions.

Since there isn't a policy at https://github.com/mathiasbynens/CSS.escape/security I'm curious if you have any official policies documented somewhere regarding:

Security releases
Were a 2.x release to happen, what would the security release process look like? For example, does more than one version receive security fixes, or only the current version?
Release windows/cadence
This library has been doing its job successfully for a some time without requiring updates, so this may be somewhat hypothetical as well. I assume release happen as necessary on any given day, vs a set schedule after a certain passage of time (e.g. once a month)?
Backwards compatibility guarantees
Were a 2.x release to happen, Are there any guarantees that a given version will be supported for some period of time (an LTS version, for example), also with the understanding that things possibly changed between 4 and 5?
Disclosure Policy
For example, in the event of a security issue would you ask users to report the issues privately, and publish the existence of the vulnerability only once a fix is available, for coordinated disclosure?

If they aren't documented anywhere, could you provide clarification in this issue?

Thanks for your help with our security review process!
