Conversation
Also make our CONTRIBUTING guide link to, and be consistent with, our SECURITY.md policy file. Follow OpenEXR's lead by explaining briefly that we only consider something to be a security issue if it can plausibly be triggered by ordinary inputs coming from untrusted parties. For example, a maliciously crafted input image may be a vulnerability, but incorrect use of an API call is not, because only trusted parties should have direct access to the APIs.
