[PATCH 4/4] Documentation/process: add transparency promise to list subscription

[Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Transparency is good.  It it essential for everyone working under an
embargo to know who is involved and who else is a "knower".  Being
transparent allows everyone to always make informed decisions about
ongoing participating in a mitigation effort.

Add a step to the subscription process which will notify existing
subscribers when a new one is added.

While I think this is good for everyone, this patch represents my
personal opinion and not that of my employer.
