Minor Xen project process clarifications (security process, governance process)
Hi everybody,
I am going to make two minor clarifications in the next few days. I
believe we need no vote for this.

1) http://www.xenproject.org/security-policy.html*

5. Advisory public release:*
At the embargo date we will publish the advisory, and push bugfix
changesets to public revision control trees. Public advisories will be
posted to xen-devel, xen-users and xen-annnounce and will be added to
theSecurity Announcements wiki page
<http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Security_Announcements>. Copies will
also be sent to the pre-disclosure list.

Change: replace the link to point to http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/ (which
contains an automatically generated lists of advisories)

2) http://www.xenproject.org/governance.html**

Making Contributions

Making contributions in Xen follows the conventions as they are known in
the Linux Kernel community. In summary contributions are made through
patches that are reviewed by the community. Xen does not require
community members to sign contribution or committer agreements. We do
require contributors to sign contrinbutions using the sign-off feature
of the code repository, following the same approach as the Linux Kernel
does (seeDeveloper Certificate Of Origin
<http://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin>).

Add a sentence, which states that "This means that contributors retain
the copyright of their contributions."
