Subject: [PATCH] docs: Offer private vulnerability reporting in the issue
 chooser

SECURITY.md points reporters at the private advisory form, but there was no
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml, so the issue chooser showed only public
templates. Add a contact link to the enabled private vulnerability reporting
form so the private route is visible where a reporter decides how to file.
