It may be time to document our current posture to at least show where we are and the standard we expect all developers to live up to. In the process of documenting you may find that we are lacking somewhere.

There is already a security policy in place. It's not formalized nor is it written down but it's there. It's the current posture of Fedora. We set a root passphrase at the beginning of install and we give people the option of securing GRUB with a passphrase and encrypting the hard drive. We also have the unwritten rule of user privileges.
