These seem like nice guidelines but must we disallow people who we all know
will help the discussion because they don't meet the requirements?
IMO we can't define what makes someone unsuitable for the list but will know
them when we see them.
Also it seems that rules stop people from doing the right thing while
people with bad intentions are usually more motivated and will thus find a way
around the rule.
My +1 is for a case by case basis.

Hello,
The new mailing list security(a)xwiki.org was created. All core commiters
will be on this list.
This is *not* an announcement list, it is meant for technical
discussions about security issues. However, everyone can write to this
mailing list, e.g. to report security issues (mails will be reviewed by
the administrator first).
If somebody else is interested in contributing to discussions on that
list, he or she should write a mail on the dev-list asking for access.
If the commiters agree (meaning that nobody is -1 on it, similar to a
proposal) this person will get access.
We also need to define who can get access. IMO:
- persons who have submitted security issues in jira
- persons who've submitted security patches
- persons who have been contributing to xwiki for a long time
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
