The only way I know of to get this information now is to look in the git
repos, so for example for keystoneclient I can find the security-supported
releases are
0.11 (icehouse) --
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/python-keystoneclient/log/?h=stable/icehouse
1.1 (juno)
1.3 (kilo)

The rest (for example, 1.2) are not supported.

The place I would expect to find this information is here:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Releases
