Awesome! Thank you for that Luca. Apologies for the lag, I was in Detroit
last week for KubeCon meeting a number of projects we've done security
engagements with and collecting feedback.

I hope we can sync soon and discuss opportunities to help out with zeromq!
Our org OSTIF (https://ostif.org/) has been advocating for providing free
help to open source projects for almost 8 years now. We finally have some
resources on our bench to help projects out with their security needs. I am
finalizing what exactly that would look like in the next week!

I'll have updates and resources for you soon. In the meantime feel free to
reach out with any questions or feedback.

Thank you,
Amir
