Pull request overview
This PR updates SECURITY.md to modernize the Zcash Foundation's vulnerability disclosure process for Zebra and align it with the broader Zcash ecosystem process (zcash/.github/SECURITY.md). It removes the now-defunct Electric Coin Company reference, introduces a Signal-based channel for critical reports, points non-critical reports to GitHub's private advisory feature, and demotes email/PGP to a fallback channel.
Changes:
- Replaces the single "submit to security@zfnd.org" path with a tiered process: Signal for critical issues, GitHub "Report a Vulnerability" for everything else, and email/PGP as a fallback.
- Updates the bilateral-disclosure contact from "The Electric Coin Company" to the "Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL)" with a link to the ecosystem SECURITY.md.
- Fixes a subject/verb grammar issue ("has" → "have") in the "Sending Disclosures" section.
Process note: per the repository's contribution guidelines, the PR description leaves the "discussed in an issue or with the team" checkbox unchecked, and the conventional-commit title marks this docs change as breaking (fix(docs)!), which is unusual for a documentation-only update.
