[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.

 The LLVM Security Group is private. It is composed of trusted LLVM contributors. Its discussions remain within the Security Group (plus issue reporter and key experts) while an issue is being investigated. After an issue becomes public, the entirety of the group’s discussions pertaining to that issue also become public.

+===============================
+
+To report a security issue in the LLVM Project, please `open a new issue`_ in the LLVM project page, on the chromium issue tracker.  Be sure to use the "Security bug report" template.
+
+We aim to acknowledge your report within two business days since you first reach out. If you do not receive any response by then, you can escalate by sending a message to the `llvm-dev mailing list`_ asking to get in touch with someone from the LLVM Security Group. **The escalation mailing list is public**: avoid discussing or mentioning the specific issue when posting on it.

 The medium used to host LLVM Security Group discussions is security-sensitive. It should therefore run on infrastructure which can meet our security expectations.
 
-This is where all security discussions occur:
+We are currently using the `chromium issue tracker`_ (as the `llvm` project) to have security discussions:
 
 * File security issues.
-* Nominate new members.
-* Propose member removal.
-* Suggest policy changes.
 * Discuss security improvements to LLVM.
 
-
 When a new issue is filed, a template is provided to help issue reporters provide all relevant information.
 
+*FUTURE*: The `Github security`_ workflow allows publicly disclosing resolved security issues on the github project page, and we would be interested in adopting it for that purpose.  However, it does not easily allow confidential reporting of security issues, as creating Github Security Advisories is currently restricted to Github project admins.  That is why we have started with the `chromium issue tracker`_ instead.
+
+
+We also occasionally need to discuss logistics of the LLVM Security Group itself:
+
+* Nominate new members.
+* Propose member removal.
+* Suggest policy changes.
+
+We often have these discussions publicly, in our :ref:`monthly public sync-up call <online-sync-ups>` and on public LLVM mailing lists.  For internal or confidential discussions, we also use a private mailing list.
