[docs] Adding a Support Policy
As discussed in the mailing list [1-4], we need a separation of support
tiers when requiring support from the whole community versus a
sub-community. Essentially, if a sub-community is active enough and
takes maintenance into their own internal costs without affecting other
parts of the community's maintenance costs, then code that is not
immediately relevant to all parts (ie. not released, actively tested,
etc) can still find its way into the LLVM main repository without major
pain points.
The main benefit is to reduce the maintenance cost that those
sub-communities have outside of LLVM (for example, in duplicating common
code, applying the same patches on top of multiple user repositories or
downstream projects).
This document outlines the components and responsibilities of the
sub-communities with regards to maintenance costs and how they affect
the rest of the community.
It also adds an addendum on removal policies, which expand the existing
"new target removal" policy into something more generic, to encompass
any piece of code, scripts or documents in the repository.

`Developer's List (llvm-dev)`__
|
|
|
|
This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
|
|
|
|
LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code
|
|
|
|
for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.

`Commits Archive (llvm-commits)`__
|
|
|
|
This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
|
|
|
|
commit code changes to the repository. It also serves as a forum for
|
|
|
|
patch review (i.e. send patches here). It is useful for those who want to
|
|
|
|
stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
|

volume.

This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and closed. It is

A message is automatically sent to this list by every active nightly tester

making it a high volume list.

[docs] Describe reporting security issues on the chromium tracker.
To track security issues, we're starting with the chromium bug tracker
(using the llvm project there).
We considered using Github Security Advisories. However, they are
currently intended as a way for project owners to publicize their
security advisories, and aren't well-suited to reporting issues.
This also moves the issue-reporting paragraph to the beginning of the
document, in part to make it more discoverable, in part to allow the
anchor-linking to actually display the paragraph at the top of the page.
Note that this doesn't update the concrete list of security-sensitive
areas, which is still an open item. When we do, we may want to move the
list of security-sensitive areas next to the issue-reporting paragraph
as well, as it seems like relevant information needed in the reporting
process.
Finally, when describing the discission medium, this splits the topics
discussed into two: the concrete security issues, discussed in the
issue tracker, and the logistics of the group, in our mailing list,
as patches on public lists, and in the monthly sync-up call.
While there, add a SECURITY.md page linking to the relevant paragraph.
