Here's what it essentially boils down to:

- Public, non-discriminatory access, we don't sign NDAs
- Public mapping between CVE IDs and patches (or commit IDs to a public VCS)
- If the patches don't have meaningful commits messages on the nature of the
  change, provide a contact who is willing to answer questions for backports
  or impact
