Clarify roles and responsibilities of vulnerability handling

Chun Du requested to merge cdu-update-vulnerability-handling into master

Why is this change being made?

In the FedRAMP RAR retrospective, it was brought up that we had trouble finding DRIs and the roles & responsibilities were not clear across functional groups.

This MR attempts to add clarity to roles & responsibilities for the tasks we ran into confusions during RAR, based on the review and discussion by Development groups in gitlab-org/enablement-section/discussions#44.
