Subject: website: directly link the security mail address

Is there a reason why we don't link to the mail alias directly on the
security page:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/security/

Because the mailman archive doesn't make really sense for most of the
users as it's only accessible with a password.

What about this small patch?
```

Or is this an anti-spam measure?
