Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) is an LSM that provides an
complimentary approach to Mandatory Access Control than existing LSMs
today.
Existing LSMs have centered around the concept of access to a resource
should be controlled by the current user's credentials. IPE's approach,
is that access to a resource should be controlled by the system's trust
of a current resource.
The basis of this approach is defining a global policy to specify which
resource can be trusted.

You should probably add a mailing list (L:) and source tree URL (T:)
to the IPE entry. You can use the LSM mailing list to start if you
like, there are several LSMs that do that today, e.g. Smack, Landlock,
etc. As far as the source tree is concerned, probably the easiest
option is a simple GitHub repo, but there are plenty of other choices
too.
Both the mailing list and the source URLs can always be updated in the
future so don't worry too much about being stuck with either long
term.
