+
+The lead maintainer will acknowledge your email within 24 hours, and will
+send a more detailed response within 48 hours indicating the next steps in
+handling your report. After the initial reply to your report, the security
+team will endeavor to keep you informed of the progress towards a fix and
+full announcement, and may ask for additional information or guidance.
+
+Please report security vulnerabilities in third-party modules to the person
+or team maintaining the module.
+
+## Disclosure Policy
