Hi all, another vote -

We currently track all security issues in private, pushing these to the
public repos only during the preparation for a release. This adds
significant overhead for committers handling the current surge of
reports - a surge which mostly comprises Low severity issues. It also
delays us getting CI runs, which potentially delays the release, exactly
as happened with the recent mod_auth_digest fix in 2.4.67.

I'm proposing that we change the process: once we confirm a Low (and
maybe Moderate) severity issue, the fix can be pushed to the public
repos like any other change, with a deliberately obfuscated commit
message to conceal the security impact. The ASF Security team is fine
with this approach per [1], though cautions us to not keep the obscured
commits public for too long before a release.

Please vote:

[ ] No - keep the current process
[X] Yes - push Low severity issues as obfuscated public commits
[ ] Yes - push Low+Moderate severity issues as obfuscated public commits

If you're fine with either Low or Low+Moderate vote "Yes" on both and
we'll see where the majority lies?

Regards, Joe
