It looks like GitHub has just added support for private security reports:
https://github.blog/changelog/2022-11-09-privately-report-vulnerabilities-to-repository-maintainers/

I haven't looked into the details, but it probably makes sense to enable
those on php-src and make this our official venue for security bug reports.
This would allow retiring the last remaining use of bugs.php.net (well,
apart from the archive of old issues, which should of course remain).

Nikita
