[openstack-dev] SecurityImpact tagging in gerrit

2013-06-21 Thread Bryan D. Payne
This is a quick note to announce that the OpenStack gerrit system supports
a SecurityImpact tag.  If you are familiar with the DocImpact tag, this
works in a similar fashion.

Please use this in the commit message for any commits that you feel would
benefit from a security review.  Commits with this tag in the commit
message will automatically trigger an email message to the OpenStack
Security Group, allowing you to quickly tap into some of the security
expertise in our community.

PTLs -- Please help spread the word an encourage use of this within your
projects.

Cheers,
-bryan

 Interesting. Does it automatically make the commit in stealth mode so
 that it's not seen in public? Thanks,

This tag is about asking for design input / code review from people with
security expertize for new work. As such the code is all public.

Fixes for security flaws in existing code which need to be kept private
should not be sent via Gerrit. They should be reported privately as per
the guidelines here:
