I feel sorry for all the security pros outside of gmail and google, so I say the below on behalf of them... Should the general public be expecting a disclosure of the vulnerability to security mailing lists once a solution has been implemented to patch the hole, so other web-based services are aware of the possibility of the same problem being an issue for them, or should gmail be keeping everything secret after they patch. I guess if gmail team did not want to make a public disclosure of the vulnerability, the gmail folks would send a private e-mail to people like yahoo, if it was found to be a current issue for other webbased e-mail services, or in future possibilities. If none of the above, can we expect the "hacker" to make an announcement once he has heard back from the vendor that a solution and patch has been implemented. If this was a private disclosure, then no one would be asking for a public announcement of the vulnerability, but since this has been made into a public, high profile disclosure, is it not right in the public interest for ethier the "hacker" or gmail team to make the vulnerability known, after its safe to do so.
