In my case, I'd understand that I might want to offer vendors the possibility to co-ordinate upgrades for bogofilter, fetchmail, and leafnode, in lexicographical order, and possibly for a FreeBSD port -- although I'm not a representative of FreeBSD's security officer team (nor would that team usually deal with third-party software vulnerabilities unless it's in the basde system).
Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have separate security teams that work to keep the third-party software provided by the FreeBSD ports system http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html and NetBSD pkgsrc system http://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html patched for vulnerabilities. (Note that the pkgsrc system is cross platform and works on *BSD, Solaris, Linux and many other platforms.) I'd guess other BSD and Solaris distro's have similar teams. I'd like to either see members of these teams included, or a second list created for all issues not specific to linux. (FWIW I am on the pkgsrc security team.) I'll also second the question someone else posed about how cc'ing others off the list could reasonably work if all messages are encrypted. Thanks, - Tim
