I guess we're not generating enough security bugs to trigger urgent
updates. :-)

Looking at <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/postfix> I see that the
latest stable snapshot in 3.5.6-1 dating back 2020-08-05 and not updated
since.  So likely none of the subsequent updates have been merged into
Debian stable.

    postfix-3.5.6   Jul 26 2020
    postfix-3.5.7   Aug 30 2020
    postfix-3.5.8   Nov  7 2020
    postfix-3.5.9   Jan 17 2021
    postfix-3.5.10  Apr 11 2021
    postfix-3.5.11  Jun 13 2021
    postfix-3.5.12  Jul 24 2021

Perhaps Debian needs a Postfix maintainer with more cycles to
proactively keep it up to date?
