I would have nothing against it if my mobile phone number was on some
shared contact list available to the ASF Security Team members.

We usually answer very fast to security reports (usually within 24
hours), but to improve and better coordinate the response, Christian,
Volkan and I came with a draft for our security response rules:

1. The burden of coordinating answers to security reports falls upon
the PMC chair. Within 24 hours from the report a discussion must be
initiated on either the `private@` or the private Slack channel.
2. The PMC chair designates a deputy that watches `security@` in his
absence. The chair will notify the deputy of his absences (vacations,
workations, etc.), so the absence of the chair should not cause any
delays.
3. If the security report is a security issue and it is critical, the
PMC members agree to perform a fast (24 hours) release vote at this
stage.
4. All the patches to solve a vulnerability must circulate on private channels.
5. Among all the solutions to a vulnerability, the removal of an issue
should be considered first and a patch should be ready.
6. If nobody comes with a proper solution, the "remove feature" patch
should be applied.
7. The release vote should start shortly after the patch has been
submitted to a public repository and can be shortened  to 24 hours if
the PMC agreed in point 3.
