Add what to do when a public security MR is opened
Why is this change being made?
There is been questions in the security channel about what to do when a security MR is opened in public, related thread. This MR adds text about engaging SIRT to delete the MR and branch.
Fixing in the public section in the handbook looks like a good place to add these details. However, this looks like a frequently asked question in slack so what about having an appsec FAQ page to capture various appsec related questions like this one in the handbook? So proposing to add an FAQ page under the appsec runbook folder.
