Description

Because of the recent CVE fix I was searching Google for "django cve" which brought me to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/releases/security/.

This is a super helpful page, except that the most recently fixed (an therefore most relevant) security issues are listed all the way at the bottom of the page. I would expect them to be at the top of the page.

Hey Jaap, OK yes, I guess :) (I've half thought this myself at times so...)

I just noticed the footer on that page links to the release notes of Django 0.95. I guess this is automatically added by Sphinx, but it is somewhat strange as well. Would moving the Security releases section on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/releases/ to the top "fix" that link? It would also make the security release page slightly more discoverable.

Has patch: set

I've created a PR and moved Issues under Django's security process to the top and Issues prior to Django's security process to the bottom.
Also, I used a small python script to reverse the order of entries.

Yes, it's added by Sphinx.

Would moving the ​Security releases section on ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/releases/ to the top "fix" that link?

Yes, By this change, the release index page will be the previous page of the Security Issues page.

Carlton, Shall we go for this change as well?

I don't think we should move the Security Releases section to the top.

The vast majority of our users are looking for the latest release, by series, be they security or not, and not the list of security issues.
That 0.95 is the previous page in the docs is just how it is (for me) — not a biggie.
