Yeah, I suggest to decouple the security reporting issue from this RFC.
 That can and should be decided by other people, and wouldn't need an
RFC, in my opinion.

Just a quick note here, that the handling of security reports is rather
suboptimal on bugsnet.  Patches need to be shared via secrets Gists (or
similar) since even the reporter can't access attached patches.
