This PR improves the language in the eighth
listitem in the Vulnerability Management Process.

(This one's pretty nitpicky.)

Vulnerability Management Process
================================
#. The report will be acknowledged within three business days.
#. The team will investigate and update the email thread with relevant
information and may ask for additional information or guidance
surrounding the reported issue.
#. If the team does not confirm the report, no further action will be
taken and the issue will be closed.
#. If the team confirms the report, a unique CVE identifier will be
assigned and shared with the reporter. The team will take action to
fix the issue.
#. In cases in which a reporter has not chosen a date to disclose the
vulnerability, a Ceph security team member will work with the list members
to coordinate a release date (CRD). The agreed upon release date
will be shared with the reporter.
#. The vulnerability disclosure / release date is set excluding Friday and
holiday periods.
#. Embargoes are preferred for Critical and High impact
issues. Embargo should not be held for more than 90 days from the
date of vulnerability confirmation, except under unusual
circumstances. For Low and Moderate issues with limited impact and
an easy workaround or where an issue that is already public, a
standard patch release process will be followed to fix the
vulnerability once CVE is assigned.
#. Fixes for issues of "Medium" and "Low" severity will be released as part of
the next standard release cycle. List members will receive seven days of
advance notice prior to the release date of these fixes. The details of the
CVE fix will be included in the release notes, and the release notes will be
linked in the public announcement.
#. Commits will be handled in a private repository for review and
testing and a new patch version will be released from this private
repository.
#. If a vulnerability is unintentionally already fixed in the public
repository, a few days are given to downstream stakeholders/vendors
to prepare for updating before the public disclosure.
#. An announcement will be made disclosing the vulnerability. The
fastest place to receive security announcements is via the
`ceph-announce@ceph.io <ceph-announce@ceph.io>`_ or
`oss-security@lists.openwall.com <oss-security@lists.openwall.com>`_ mailing
lists. (These lists are low-traffic).
If the report is considered embargoed, we ask you to not disclose the
vulnerability before it has been fixed and announced, unless you
received a response from the Ceph security team that you can do
so. This holds true until the public disclosure date that was agreed
upon by the list. Thank you for improving the security of Ceph and its
ecosystem. Your efforts and responsible disclosure are greatly
appreciated and will be acknowledged.
