This is a proposal for the PMC to review — please correct, reject, or discuss as needed. Nothing here is a requirement; the maintainer is the decision-maker.
This adds a small
AGENTS.md+SECURITY.mdso an automated scan agent can mechanically discover the project's security model via the conventionalAGENTS.md → SECURITY.mdchain. It points at the Maven family's umbrella threat model, which the PMC merged inapache/maven(THREAT_MODEL.md) — no model content is duplicated here, just the pointer.Context: the ASF Security team is preparing the Maven repositories for an automated agentic security scan we're piloting. Such scans refuse to run if the model isn't discoverable by that path. Discoverability is the one hard gate; everything else is suggestion.
Doc-only; questions / pushback welcome.
