Initial CVE association and triage done for python2.7, comparing with
python3.9 and python3.7, thanks.

Merged in security-support-limited, thanks.

So we can do the same as with python2.7, expect this time the LTS Team
members are the only ones adding the '- sqlite <removed>' entries for
new sqlite3 CVEs.

I can proceed to add such entries for the past CVEs and prepare LTS
procedures to ensure this is done, until the end of buster-lts next
year.

Are you OK with this?
