Description

Description

Three GitHub Private Vulnerability Reports were filed on this
repository on June 7, 2026. All three remain in Triage with zero
maintainer comments after 103 days.

An email was also sent on July 8 to the security contact listed in
the README (Justin.R.Morris@nasa.gov with
gsfc-softwarerequest@mail.nasa.gov copied), without a reply.

This issue is not about the technical content of those reports,
which stays in the private channel. It is only to ask whether the
private advisory queue is being monitored, since public issues
here appear to get attention while the private ones do not.

Could a maintainer confirm the right channel for security
reports?
