I've created https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/4152 with a SECURITY.md that largely uses Kurt's proposal.

PSC,

We just got https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/4146 from someone trying to get in touch with a security issue. How do we want to deal with that ? Personally dealing with all the secrecy about security issues is not super appealing and my natural inclination would be to deal with them as any other issue.

An alternative, used by Mapserver, would be to setup a dedicated private github repository, where we would invite only users (but they are likely able to see all issues, not just theirs). Or perhaps just make a repository accessible to PSC / trusted developers, interact with the reporter through email (who wants to be in the email loop?) and paste there the report and updates, but that becomes cumbersome.

Another point, assuming we have a private issue tracker, is, assuming the issue is confirmed and we have a fix for it, how do we deal with it ? My inclination would be to just commit the fix (the issue would become more or less public once a candidate pull request is issued) and not issue a dedicated release, but use our regular bugfix releases.

Thoughts ?
