+    # Security: this does not leak write access for our image repository to

+    # We have `packages: write` permissions for our GITHUB_TOKEN below. 
However:
+    #
+    # - For `pull_request`, GitHub downgrades GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to
+    #   read-only.
+    # - For `push` triggers on a fork, the GITHUB_TOKEN retains write
+    #   permissions, but the `push` is happening in the context of the fork, 
not
+    #   the upstream repo.
+    # - For `pull_request_target` (not used here), image repo permissions are
+    #   scoped to the repository they run on. This prevents forks from writing
+    #   to our Apache Hadoop image repo.

Review Comment:
   my understanding is, `pull_request_target` allows forks to write 
apache/hadoop image repo, but this only happens after PR is merged, because 
`pull_request_target` runs on the context of the PR target branch, not the PR 
branch.
