Security and privacy are central to much of what we do at Mozilla, but there are many people working on precisely the security and privacy of our stuff.  The problem is that sometimes it is difficult to know which teams or which people to involve during your project.  This Safety project aims to improve this by providing a central place to involve the various security and privacy groups as valuable, and track progress of what's needed to safely roll out your project.
