[arch-general] [arch-security] [Announcement] Discussion about restricting arch-security for public participation

[Elmar Stellnberger]

security updates in given packages from general security discussions and 
announcements. Nonetheless if the arch-security list becomes closed down 
for public participation then we are in need of a new list for the 
latter two purposes.
