Conversation
The security policy only listed the security@blockstream.com email as a reporting channel. Private vulnerability reporting is enabled on this repository, so advertise it as the preferred channel: it keeps reports private by default, lets reporters and maintainers collaborate on a fix in a single draft advisory, and streamlines CVE assignment and coordinated disclosure. The email address remains documented as an alternative. Changelog-None

SECURITY.mdcurrently only listssecurity@blockstream.comas the reporting channel. GitHub private vulnerability reporting is enabled on this repository, but a reporter reading the security policy would never know.This PR advertises it as the preferred channel, keeping the email as an alternative.
Why
Private vulnerability reporting is strictly better for both sides than email:
Changes
The "Reporting a Vulnerability" section now reads:
The note that the email address is exclusively for vulnerability reporting is preserved, as is the GPG key table (still needed for the email channel and release signatures).
