To me, the term "full disclosure" does not mean "make it available as fast as possible", but rather "here is the information, expect it to leak in the next two weeks, so go out and fix the bug". The current bugtraq scheme enforces that, and I believe they are doing a great job.
There is no Bugtraq "scheme". The Bugtraq moderator does not hold any posts. The poster gets to decide when his informatino is released. The people who post to Bugtraq as just as able to blindside a vendor as on any other mailing list. The closest thing to what you describe that is offered by SecurityFocus is the vulnhelp service. This is a way for someone who finds a bug to voluntarily dump the hassle of dealing with notifying the vendor and waiting onto the SecurityFOcus staff. Someone who uses vulnhelp still wants to give the vendor advanced notice, they just don't want to do it themselves. If they don't want the vendor to have any warning, they just post to Bugtraq. BB
