Hi PSC and devs!

I have enabled GitHub's feature to add a 'report a vulnerability' 
button, for the MapServer repo, when a user clicks on the "Security" 
link in the header (see screen capture at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7298 ).  The filed report 
should only be visible to PSC members and the reporter.  It also allows 
us to "triage" the reports etc.  (we can of course improve this process 
when we see it in action)

docs about this feature: 
https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/guidance-on-reporting-and-writing-information-about-vulnerabilities/privately-reporting-a-security-vulnerability

Thanks,

-jeff
