Sounds simple but sometimes it is not so easy.
E.g. it might be written in Python 2 for all we know. Should they leave it on Python 2 with zero security updates, or invest lots of time porting to python 3?
Obviously there will likely be a million other internal examples of the python 2 to 3 migration that we don't know about.

The only meaningful security risk at this point is something like heartbleed. We're talking security issue in 10 year battle hardened protocol. This is a fantastically rare case. Not something you need headcount on a constant basis to deal with.
