Comment:

 Regarding what email address to use, the following is summarized from a
 tor-project IRC conversation:
 - Section 4 of RFC 2142 says we should reserve security at ... for people to
 report network / infrastructure security issues.
 - On the other hand, Google advertises security at google.com as the method
 to report software vulnerabilities as well as security incidents.  See
 http://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/

 So maybe the right thing to do is to combine both roles behind one email
 address (which will probably lead to more work / more hassle for us
 internally, but it would make things easier for outsiders).
