Bug Description
Hey, it's Pedro and I'm back (see [1] and [2]) and I've got another security suggestion for lxml!
I'd like to suggest that the project add the OpenSSF Scorecard Action [3]. The OpenSSF Scorecard runs a "meta-analysis" of the project's security posture, and the Action then populates the project's Security Panel [4] with possible improvements to its security posture.
This data is fetched via GitHub's public API, and the project's current score can already be seen in [5]. It's currently a 7.1/10, which puts lxml at the top 10% of relevant projects.
It was through Scorecard that I detected the issues fixed in the linked PRs. The Action would simply do the same thing, letting you know if there's anything you can do to improve lxml's security. The Security Panel notifications include not only the reasoning for each check's score (as seen in [5]), but also remediation steps.
I'll send a PR along with this issue to implement the workflow.
