Sounds fantastic, but it's not the same as ``anyone who can confirm
bugs''. I'm happy with it, myself, just wanted to make sure that it was
an intentional difference.

So we need:
- a security group -- I'll go define that now, with (shaver, mstoltz,
mitchell, blizzard, brendan) as the initial membership.
- hacks to bugzilla such that:
= anyone can mark a bug security-confidential, including during initial
report
= anyone on the Cc/Assigned/QA-contact/reporter lists can see the bug
= anyone in the security group can unmark the bug

Any takers on bugzilla hacking for the latter?

Let's have it be a "security group" now, and let the temptation for
wider access guide our hand in liberal additions to the list. As the
set of people in the list approaches a decent portion (10%, even?) of
the can-confirm population, we can revisit this decision.
