 ## Security
 
-This project is unmaintained and has
-[known security issues](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/346).
-It is foolish to use this software to process untrusted data.
+This is open-source software written by hobbyists and maintained by
+volunteers.
+
+It's NOT recommended to use this software to process **untrusted data**.
+There is a lot of ways that a malicious crafted xml could exploit a
+hidden vulnerability in the software.
+
+The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind,
+express or implied. Use this software at your own risk.
+
+To **report security bugs**, you can create a confidential issue with
+the "security" label. We will review and work on it as a best effort.
+But remember that this is a community project, maintained by volunteer
+developers, so if you are concern about any important security bug
+that's critical for you, feel free to collaborate and provide a patch.
+
+The main rule is to be kind. Do not pressure developers to fix a CVE
+or to work on a functionality that you need, because that won't work.
+This is a community project, developers will work in the issues that
+they consider interesting and when they want. All contributions are
+welcome, so if something is important for you, you can always get
+involved, implement it yourself and be part of the open source
+community.
