Remove steps related to the post-mortem meeting
The post-mortem meeting is now considered an on-demand event.  The past
few security release cycles proved that there is rarely a need to
discuss things in this form, so there is little point in carrying out
the relevant steps for every single vulnerability - which does not
prevent us from doing so if the actual need arises.
