Q&A, Other

Transfer canterberry/nodejs-keys into nodejs/keys nodejs/node#456
- Previously discussed in the Release WG and we agreed it was good to pursue.
- No objections to the transfer of the repository.
- nodejs/release-keys preferred naming.
- After this happens, we should update related documentation.
Node.js releasers email alias? #663
- Named alias to be more specific security-release to ensure it’s only used for the purpose of sourcing releasers for security releases.
Trim active releasers list #499
- (Action) Richard to try and match keys to releasers.
