Add a mention of the security mailing list to the README. 2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note git-security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 2018-03-08) already added it to the man page, but I suspect that for many developers, such as myself, the README would be the first place to go looking for it. Use the same wording as we already have on the git-scm.com website and in the man page. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@xxxxxxxxx> --- 2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note git-security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 2018-03-08) also mentions SubmittingPatches, but I think people are much more likely to submit a report of a security issue first, rather than sending a patch, for which I think the README is more useful.
