Try to get OpenSFF Badge

[sbernard31]

Maybe it could be worth to try to get a badge of OpenSSF Best Practices Program :

• https://www.bestpractices.dev/en
• https://github.com/coreinfrastructure/best-practices-badge

This is probably possible to get a passing badge but silver or gold is probably not possible for a "small" project like Leshan.

An also to look at ScoreCard too ?

• https://github.com/ossf/scorecard

About scorecard I tested it locally using CLI and I get :

RESULTS
