Description

Following up on https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/pull/2536#discussion_r1831467039

Currently, we depend on the "sec": false config to exclude security bugs, which exclude confidential bugs as well (see https://github.com/mozilla/bugbot/pull/2536#discussion_r1831619083)

If we decide to go with this route, we may want to change the behaviour of the "sec": false config instead of having a custom fix to the no_severity_nag rule only.

Research direction

Start with the discussion on pull request 2536 and trace the "sec": false configuration and the no_severity_nag rule. Determine whether the change belongs in the shared security filtering behavior or only in that rule. Done means security bugs are excluded without excluding confidential non-security bugs.
