描述

### Description
With the recent and excellent architectural overhaul of API v3 (specifically PR #2206 by @TG1999), the data delivery and pagination mechanisms are vastly improved. However, downstream consumers (SCA tools, enterprise users) still rely on a polling-based model to detect new advisories, which creates unnecessary database strain and delays remediation.

As part of my GSoC 2026 proposal, I am proposing an **Event-Driven Threat Alerting Engine & API Security Gateway**.

The architecture would introduce two core pillars:
1. **API v3 Security Gateway:** Integrating `djangorestframework-api-key` and custom DRF `BaseThrottle` classes to protect the new API v3 endpoints from bot-scraping and DDoS abuse.
2. **Real-Time Webhook Engine:** Allowing users to subscribe to specific Package URLs (PURLs). When an Importer maps a new advisory to a subscribed PURL, a Celery-backed asynchronous worker dispatches a cryptographically signed (HMAC-SHA256) HTTP POST payload to the user's endpoint.

### Why this matters
This transitions VulnerableCode from a passive database to an active threat-intel feed, drastically reducing polling load on the server while leveraging the existing Celery/Redis async topology.

I have drafted a full technical architecture and timeline for this epic. Before finalizing my GSoC submission, I would love to get your thoughts on this direction, specifically regarding the DRF API Key integration!
