Summary

  • Replace generic @netresearch.de email addresses with GitHub-native references
  • Add support section to package metadata with Issues/Source URLs
  • Use GitHub Security Advisories for vulnerability reporting
  • Use GitHub Issues for general support/contact

Motivation

Generic email addresses in public repositories attract spam and create maintenance overhead. GitHub provides better mechanisms for each use case:

  • Security: Private vulnerability reporting via Security Advisories
  • Support: Issue tracker with templates and labels
  • Contact: Discussions for general questions

Test plan

  • Verify package metadata is valid (composer validate)
  • Verify links in documentation point to correct URLs
  • Verify no functional email addresses were removed (only metadata/docs)

Replace generic @netresearch.de email addresses with GitHub-native
mechanisms (Issues, Security Advisories, repository URLs).

- Remove email from package metadata (composer.json, ext_emconf.php)
- Add support/issues URLs to package metadata
- Replace security contact with GitHub Security Advisories
- Replace support/contact emails with GitHub Issues links
- Remove email from PHP docblock @author tags
- Use OCI labels in Dockerfiles

Code Review

This pull request updates the CONTRIBUTING.md file to replace a generic security email address with a link to GitHub Security Advisories. This is a good practice that centralizes security reporting through GitHub's dedicated feature, which helps in tracking and managing vulnerabilities privately and effectively. The change is correct and aligns with the goal of modernizing contact and support channels for the project. The implementation is sound and I have no further recommendations.

The link points specifically to the new advisory / report flow, but the label 'GitHub Security Advisories' can read like it points to the advisories list. Consider renaming the link text to something more explicit (e.g., 'Report a vulnerability' or 'Security advisory (report)') to better communicate the action contributors should take.
