@Cripto It really depends on what is practical for the application's users. A first step is providing transparency and adequate warnings to the sysadmins. For example, a report that lists all of the software components that exist in an application, along with their versions (and custom code changes if any), and a list of publicly disclosed vulnerabilities that affect those versions, and ...
... explanations of the security implications of those vulnerabilities (written in in a way readable by sysadmins), will help sysadmins make an informed choice about what action to take with respect to each EOL component. As you may have guessed, replacing the component may or may not be a practical choice. Thus, mitigations need to be considered. The three guidance you listed can be used as either recommended system configs or mitigations.
SaaS (software as a service) is often touted as a way to "outsource" the EOL problem to someone else.

hi everyone, quick question
let's say I want to do a pentest but I don't want to hire someone. Is there a platform where you can outsource this with a prize at hand?

Yes, it's called a bug bounty program.
Check out bugcrowd and hackerone

security.stackexchange.com/questions/141238/… - I am inclined to answer this guy, but I got the feeling he will go on a mayhem if he achieve "anonymity". What do you think?
 
@Dogeatcatworld vtc'ed as too broad. Anyway, don't worry about these things. If he needs to ask, how much harm could he cause?
Plus people with black hat problems often ask white hat questions and vice versa. You can't tell.
 
Thats the point, he ask the question. I am more concerned about how much harm he could put himself into if he believes he achieve anonymity.
But you are right, I should not worry
 
@Dogeatcatworld if the answers are decent, they should tell him what to pay attention to
