No reference should be made to the commit being related to a security vulnerability. This is the only part that makes me nervous, since I worry it'll encourage obscure commits, but otherwise... To me, this is just a way to get us out of ambiguity/stalemate about the overall process and follow security@a.o's best practices. Thoughts? ...I'm +1 to adopting the standard process in its entirety. We can always modify pieces later if they end up not working for us. --Jacob
