    docs: clarify security-bugs disclosure policy · 7f5d465f

    I think we need to soften the language a bit.  It might scare folks
    off, especially the:
    
    	 We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible.
    
    which is not really the case.  Linus says:
    
    	It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure,
    	and it's not "no disclosure".  It's more like just "timely
    	open fixes".
    
    I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word
    "disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people
    that we do not mean here.
