As someone who works as a security professional and has spent the
last week interacting with a small army of auditors I vote that
security policy is often a pain in the arse. :)

There are some examples of FOSS security policies:

http://www.debian.org/security/
http://www.netbsd.org/support/security/

And of course Google will show a few more up - I believe Mozilla has
one.

Generally speaking they define a few basics:

1.  Who is accountable for security
2.  What to do if you find a security issue and where to report
security issues
3.  How security patches are handled
4.  The project's disclosure policy
