Hmm, this points out a valid issue that we don't have a security group 
for tripleo at all.  We use the tripleo group to include basically all 
tripleo developers so it's definitely not appropriate for this purpose.

Emilien, I think we should create a tripleo-coresec group in launchpad 
that can be used for this.  We have had tripleo-affecting security bugs 
in the past and I imagine we will again.  I'm happy to help out with 
that, although I will admit my launchpad-fu is kind of weak so I don't 
know off the top of my head how to do it.
