Research direction

Edit developer_manual/app_publishing_maintenance/publishing.rst, starting with the app security-reporting guidance already described there. Add the recommendation for an app repository SECURITY.md and link the nextcloud/.github SECURITY.md as the example. Done means both checklist items are covered clearly in the rendered documentation.
