jcoffey-dev a63839f6b0 The repository's own .github, now that it is public
SPEC 2.2a says INBUXA writes its own when the repository is first published,
and it is. Until now the public repository carried Stalwart's: a security
policy telling people to report vulnerabilities to Stalwart Labs, and a
contributing guide whose policy is that pull requests from anyone not on
upstream's vouched list are closed automatically. Neither is this project's,
and both were being offered to anyone who looked.

So: a security policy that says where to send a report, and what happens if
it turns out to be upstream's bug rather than ours; a contributing guide that
says what a fork of someone else's code needs from a contributor, including
the clean-room question, since the record has to stay true; the Contributor
Covenant; and a sponsor link. Upstream's two security documents move to
.github-upstream/ beside its workflows -- kept, not used, not presented as
ours.

CI builds the server and compiles every test target, and deliberately runs
no suite. The unit tests only build with the integration crate in the graph,
and the integration suites want a STORE, fixed ports and a container apiece,
so running them here would mean a tick that skipped everything or a cross
that means "the runner has no Redis". The workflow says as much, so nobody
has to rediscover it.

Also ignores /artifact: two hand-built binaries, ~190 MB, one `git add -A`
away from a public repository.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please don't open a public issue for a security problem. An issue is visible to everyone, including whoever would use it, before there is a fix.

Report it privately by email to:

johnellisATlinuxDOTcom

Include as much as you can of:

  • what the vulnerability is, and what it lets someone do;
  • how to reproduce it, or a proof of concept;
  • the version or commit affected;
  • anything about the deployment that matters — backend, front ends, whether it needs an authenticated account.

You'll get an acknowledgement within a few days. If a report turns out to affect upstream Stalwart rather than this fork's own code, it will be passed to Stalwart Labs with credit to you, and you'll be told that has happened.

Scope

This repository is the mail server. The web front ends have their own:

Upstream's own security documents are kept in .github-upstream/ for reference. They describe Stalwart Labs' process, not this project's.
