+# Security Policy
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+We provide security updates for the two most recent minor versions released on `crates.io`.
+
+For example, if `0.70.1` is the most recent stable version, we will address security updates for `0.69` and later.
+Once `0.71.1` is released, we will no longer provide updates for `0.69` releases.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+To report a security problem in Kube-rs, please contact at least two [maintainers][./maintainers.md]
+
+These people will help diagnose the severity of the issue and determine how to address the issue.
+Issues deemed to be non-critical will be filed as GitHub issues.
+Critical issues will receive immediate attention and be fixed as quickly as possible.
+
+## Security Advisories
+
+When serious security problems in Kube-rs are discovered and corrected, we issue a security advisory, describing the problem and containing a pointer to the fix.
+
+These are announced the [RustSec Advisory Database](https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db), to our github issues under the label `critical`, as well as discord and other primary communication channels.
+
+Security issues are fixed as soon as possible, and the fixes are propagated to the stable branches as fast as possible. However, when a vulnerability is found during a code audit, or when several other issues are likely to be spotted and fixed in the near future, the security team may delay the release of a Security Advisory, so that one unique, comprehensive Security Advisory covering several vulnerabilities can be issued.
+Communication with vendors and other distributions shipping the same code may also cause these delays.

+# Kube-rs Governance
+
+This document defines project governance for Kube-rs.
+
+## Contributors
+
+Kube-rs is for everyone. Anyone can become a Kube-rs contributor simply by contributing to the project, whether through code, documentation, blog posts, community management, or other means.
+As with all Kube-rs community members, contributors are expected to follow the [Kube-rs Code of Conduct][coc].
+
+All contributions to Kube-rs code, documentation, or other components in the Kube-rs GitHub org must follow the guidelines in [CONTRIBUTING.md][contrib].
+Whether these contributions are merged into the project is the prerogative of the maintainers.
+
+## Maintainer Expectations
+
+Maintainers have the ability to merge code into the project. Anyone can become a Kube-rs maintainer (see "Becoming a maintainer" below.)
+
+As such, there are certain expectations for maintainers. Kube-rs maintainers are expected to:
+
+* Review pull requests, triage issues, and fix bugs in their areas of expertise, ensuring that all changes go through the project's code review and integration processes.
+* Monitor the Kube-rs Discord, and Discussions and help out when possible.
+* Rapidly respond to any time-sensitive security release processes.
+* Participate on discussions on the roadmap.
+
+If a maintainer is no longer interested in or cannot perform the duties listed above, they should move themselves to emeritus status.
+If necessary, this can also occur through the decision-making process outlined below.
+
+### Maintainer decision-making
+
+Ideally, all project decisions are resolved by maintainer consensus.
+If this is not possible, maintainers may call a vote.
+The voting process is a simple majority in which each maintainer receives one vote.
+
+### Special Tasks
+
+In addition to the outlined abilities and responsibilities outlined above, some maintainer take on additional tasks and responsibilities.
+
+#### Release Tasks
+
+As a maintainer on the release team, you are expected to:
+
+* Cut releases, and update the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md)
+* Pre-verify big releases against example repos
+* Publish and update versions in example repos
+* Verify the release
+
+### Becoming a maintainer
+
+Anyone can become a Kube-rs maintainer. Maintainers should be highly proficient in Rust; have relevant domain expertise; have the time and ability to meet the maintainer expectations above; and demonstrate the ability to work with the existing maintainers and project processes.
+
+To become a maintainer, start by expressing interest to existing maintainers.
+Existing maintainers will then ask you to demonstrate the qualifications above by contributing PRs, doing code reviews, and other such tasks under their guidance.
+After several months of working together, maintainers will decide whether to grant maintainer status.
