doc: add request to hold off publicising sec releases
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- We've often seen tweets go out early before announcement
  and other parts of the security release complete
- Make an explicit ask that collaborators avoid doing this
  by gating on the tweet from the Node.js account
- Releasers would still be free to tweet earlier as they know
  when the process is complete.

We specifically ask that collaborators other than the releasers and security
steward working on the security release do not tweet or publicise the release
until the tweet from the Node.js twitter handle goes out. We have often
seen tweets sent out before the release and associated announcements are
complete which may confuse those waiting for the release and also takes
away from the work the releasers have put into shipping the releases.
