This appears to be mostly a duplicate of what we already have for the community in general: https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/mission-vision-values.md#community-values

Yes, it makes sense to align the values because this project is part of OpenTelemetry.
I think it is reasonable to call it out here to encourage contributions, an alternative approach is to not have this statement and link to the community page, which could be less convenient for the users?

I think a link is fine. This seems unnecessary duplication. I don't see anything specific to SIG Security in this paragraph.

Do you have a concrete suggestion how to rephrase this? We cannot put a bare link because it will break markdownlint.
Another way which I thought about - we just don't mention it here at all. I don't like this approach because it could give people a false impression that we try to make it harder for people to contribute.

@tigrannajaryan I'll merge for now, please keep commenting here and I can follow up in a separate PR.
This is a follow up to the May. 14th, 2025 GC/TC meeting.
