As a moderator for oss-security, I'd appreciate it if you cry alarm in here. And if this ever becomes too noisy, that would be an interesting problem to have and we'll find a way to deal with it then. :-)
We are not a distro, and (AFAICT) are not on any of the closed lists. But maybe we should be.
Actually, Chrome OS is listed as a member of linux-distros here: http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros and the person subscribed on behalf of Chrome OS is Kees Cook (previously representing Ubuntu). Given your comment above, we have to double-check whether this is currently correct. Is Kees Cook currently representing Chrome OS on linux-distros? If so, why were you not aware of that? (I think this is unrelated to the handling of GHOST, but since this was brought up we just have to deal with it as well.) Thank you! Alexander
