Production Legacy notes

Some initial notes for [wiki:Self:Extras/FedoraLegacy Fedora Legacy] :

Beginnings of scope definition - [3]
SethVidal post to fedora-test [4] .
David J. Bianco's post to Fedora-Legacy - [5]
Possibly legacy supported for every N releases (cf. [wiki:Self:Extras/EveryOtherRelease EveryOtherRelease] ).
Support popular Red Hat Linux releases, such as RHL 7.3 and RHL 9.
1-2-3-out support model. 1-2-3 will have Legacy Key signed and QA'd. "out" releases will still accept contributions for backports, but no longer Key signed, nor QA'd as heavily.
Separate Key to Fedora.
Identified components qualified for backporting efforts.
Assigned "Contacts" for each identified component to backport.
Individual contact's discretion as to when backporting for older release is discontinued.
Try to use as much of the existing fedora.us infrastructure as possible, QA/Testing/etc...
Make use of Red Hat's bugzilla, to allow security groups
