     11=== Preparing Security Announcements ===
     12
     13Part of the release-notes of patch-level releases (such as !QtWebKit-2.2.1, !QtWebKit-2.2.2, etc) should be dedicated to the security problems which have been fixed. It's standard procedure to include a list of security issues fixed (including the CVE Id) and give credit to the researchers who discovered and reported it.
     14
     15Examples of security announcements:
     16   * [http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2011/08/stable-channel-update_22.html Google Chrome]
     17   * [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4808 Apple Safari]
     18
     19The list of security bugs fixed in the branch since the last release can be extracted from the git changelog using the {{{cherry-pick-into-release-branch.py}}} script. For example, to extract a list of all security issues fixed from the tag {{{qtwebkit-2.2.0}}} until now:
     20(notice you'll need proper bugzilla privileges)
     21
     22{{{
     23$ cherry-pick-into-release-branch.py --no-git-pull --list-only --security-bugs-from qtwebkit-2.2.0..
     24}}}
     25
     26With this list in hand, we can go to Bugzilla and find out, manually:
     27  * The CVE Id of the issue;
     28  * The researchers who should receive credit;
     29
     30Once the release notes is ready, it should be sent to the [mailto:security@webkit.org WebKit Security Mailing List] for peer review. Preferably one or two days before making it public.
     31
     32Exceptions should always be discussed in the [mailto:security@webkit.org WebKit Security Mailing List].
