Hi Dian,

Thanks a lot for bringing up this discussion. This is very important for
Flink community!

I think setup a security mailing list for Flink is pretty nice although `
secur...@apache.org` can be used and the report will be forwarded to Flink
private mailing list if there is no project specific security mailing
list. One thing that is pretty sure is that we should guide users on how to
report security issues in Flink website as security vulnerabilities should
not be entered into a project's public bug tracker directly according to
the guidance for how to handling the security vulnerabilities in ASF
site[1].

Besides, we need also add a security page in Flink which shows the
information about the security vulnerabilities per the guidance of the
security vulnerabilities in ASF site[2]. Projects such as spark[3],
kafka[4], etc already have such a page.

Best,Jincheng
