I've just been trying to work out what we're doing with other repos
before replying.

For "tools", I've gone with simply:

"""
How to Report a Potential Vulnerability?
========================================

If you would like to report a public issue (for example, one with a released
CVE number), please report it using the
[https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Security Security 
Bugzilla].
If you have a patch ready, submit it following the same procedure as any other
patch as described in README.md.

If you are dealing with a not-yet released or urgent issue, please send a
message to security AT yoctoproject DOT org, including as many details as
possible: the layer or software module affected, the recipe and its version,
and any example code, if available.

"""
e.g.

https://git.yoctoproject.org/swatbot/commit/?id=961b8c10da89f011e79834c160196057a4233170

There is a second paragraph about release but it only makes sense in
metadata repositories (e.g. meta-yocto or meta-mingw).

You would be more than welcome to put your name as the maintainer
there. We've gone with the security list/bugzilla as the project
defaults but the maintainer makes sense when they're willing/able as
they're better placed to handle this.

The key thing is to get a SECURITY file in place.

If you could take care of opkg/opkg-utils that would be great!

Cheers,

Richard
