Dear everyone, we at OCaml have a security team (https://ocaml.org/security), and plan to publish (historical and new) advisories in osv schema. In order to achieve that, we want to contribute here a new ecosystem and database-specific prefix. We will host our advisories at https://github.com/ocaml/security-advisories. In OCaml, we have one package manager -- named opam -- which hosts their package database at https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository. The OCaml compiler is as well an opam package. This is why I chose to name the ecosystem "opam" (also done in purl package-url/purl-spec#763). As database we'd use OSEC. Let me know what you think about this.
