+# Security Policy
+
+Python Security Response Team (PSRT) members balance security work against many
+other responsibilities. Please be thoughtful about the time and attention your
+report requires. Repeated failure to respect this will result in future reports
+being rejected, or the reporter being banned from the `python` GitHub organization,
+regardless of technical merit.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Submit a vulnerability report using GitHub Security Advisories.
+
+Reports should be a few sentences describing the vulnerability. Ideally include
+a proof-of-concept script that reproduces the issue and provides a clear
+indication of whether the vulnerability is still present. Reports must be
+plain-text only, including attachments. No PDFs, binaries, notebooks, or other
+files that cannot be safely reviewed. If your proof-of-concept depends on a
+specially constructed binary file, please include a script to construct it
+rather than the file itself. Ideally, include a minimal patch with the mitigation
+for the report.
+
+Reports that do not contain a potential security vulnerability (such as spam or
+requesting compliance or due-diligence work) will be discarded without a reply.
