I disagree with you somewhat.
> expecting maintainers to do this (particularly when so much of it boils down to free corporate support) is unfair and a security hazard.
This would be true if its premise was true, but its premise is not quite true.
One of the maintainers works for Red Hat Security Engineering. Another has a computer security company.
If the latter wanted to charge for work on the library, he certainly could. The former probably gets paid to work on it already.
So yeah, I'd expect something better from them.

I know Cryptography's maintainers well, and neither works at Red Hat or owns a security company. I know for a fact that neither gets paid to work on Cryptography. Even if they did, there is no guarantee that having a job in a company grants you the mandate (or latitude) to maintain support for random platforms, especially ones used by other companies.
