Re: [rt-pmc] Security Policy

I think the Timing guidelines in the security policy could be better:

* Just having a patch available is not particularly helpful to consumers of a project who don't build from source - presumably the majority.

* One definite guideline should be that vulnerabilities for which a fix has been included in an official release should be disclosed.

Oh and there is a typo on [1]: "Ecipse".
