security-doc/README.rst
Vikram Hosakote 39e42975c4 Add README.rst to security-doc repo
The security-doc repository has very useful documentation needed for the
OpenStack Security Guide. But, unlike the openstack-manuals repo, the
security-doc repo does not have a README.rst file.

Hence, this patch set adds README.rst to security-doc with all the information
needed for a new contributor.

The README.rst in this patch set will also create a nice landing page for the
security-doc repo in GitHub at https://github.com/openstack/security-doc.

Security Advisories are issued by the Vulnerability Management Team (VMT). For more information about OpenStack's Vulnerability Management Team (VMT) refer https://security.openstack.org/vmt-process.html.
