Thank you, Daniel.

I received a few of your pull requests on the plugins I try to
co-maintain. I accepted some of them, but quickly realized, thanks to
the help of Mark Waite, that there was more to it than just clicking
"Merge". The scan then creates potentially hundreds of alerts that
maintainers have to deal with.

Depending on their involvement in the plugin, their understanding of
the existing codebase, the choices made before they joined the
maintainers group, and their comprehension of the alerts created, this
process could range from a walk in the park to hauling a
one-metric-ton rock to the top of a mountain.

I will do my homework and try to sort between false positives, real
issues I can solve, and things that are too complicated for me. In the
meantime, the other PRs you created for the plugins I try to maintain
will have to wait.

Please don't get discouraged if your PRs don't get merged or reviewed
in other repositories quickly. We experienced a similar situation when
Mark and I proposed the move to JDK21 to hundreds of plugins last
year.

Don't get me wrong: adding the Jenkins Security Scan is a very sane
and safe move. As far as I know, it runs on GitHub, so it should not
impact our infrastructure. It will just deepen our vendor-lock
dependency with GitHub, but we're already knee-deep in that
relationship, so it shouldn't make much difference.

Once again, thanks a lot for your work. I truly appreciate the effort,
and I'm sure the rest of the community will too.
