+1 with the following additions:

- Allow people to post the security mailing list to report security issues
- Some explanation on the Mailing List page on xwiki.org to explain what the 
security mailing list is (see for ex http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html). 
We need to ensure that people who want to report security issues send them to 
the private security mailing list

Thanks
