Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Documentation: security-bugs: new updates covering triage and AI
Date: Sun,  3 May 2026 13:35:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503113506.5710-1-w@1wt.eu> (raw)

This series tries to translate recent discussions on the security list
on how to better handle reports. It details:
  - when not to Cc: the security list
  - what classes of bugs do not need to be handled privately
  - minimum requirements for AI-assisted reports

As usual, this is probably perfectible but can already help in the short
term as we can point it to reporters, so barring any strong disagreement,
better continue to proceed in small incremental improvements and observe
the effects.

Thanks!
Willy

v2:
  - fixes for issues reported by Randy
  - Greg's ack on the AI part
  - reworded the "when to Cc" part based on Greg's feedback
    (Greg I didn't take your original ack since the wording changed)
  - split the threat model into its own document as per Greg's suggestion
