Hello,

The Mozilla Security Team is planning on turning on Secure Mail for
"Security-Sensitive Core Bug" group bugs in the near term on
bugzilla.mozilla.org. This has been previously turned on and tested for
web and infrastructure security bugs during the past six months.

I've put together a short guidance page for this at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Security_Bugs/EncryptedBugmail.

We wanted to inform people of the current plan to avoid surprises. For
most people, the effects of this will be minimal. If you're CC'd on a
core security bug and have not set an encryption key, your email notice
on bug changes *for that security bug only* will state that the bug has
changed with a link to it and no other information. If you set a key,
you will receive an encrypted copy of the normal bugzilla email with
details.

For those actually in the "Security-Sensitive Core Bug" group, they will
need to set a key in order to reset their own passwords (because of the
reset URL being sent). If no key is set, email will need to be sent to
bugzilla-admin in order to change passwords. This won't affect the vast
majority of folks.

This is part of an overall goal to decrease the risk of accidental
exposure of security bugs to hostile third parties.
