[Zeek] Communication channels

That’s certainly a possibility but for an official Zeek tool the Zeek
Leadership Team would need to make that decision.

Any new tooling is discussed with Zeek Leadership team. Corelight doesn’t
make those  decisions. I hope I didn’t lead anyone to think that in my talk
today.

The Zeek LT and I just need to be aware of things that bear the official
Zeek “title” if you will.

We’d have to figure out who would have oversite and management
responsibilities and that’s something I’ll bring up with the LT when we
discuss this.

Thanks,
~Amber
