So we have two representatives for Red Hat (Mark and Josh).Limiting a distro to two or three representatives is going to make things tricky for Red Hat; we have a rather large dedicated security response team (as we publish over 300 advisories a year across 70 product/versions and have a number of folks dealing with 'incoming' issues spread, and my team is dispersed across 9 different countries). If these representatives have been very active on v-s and oss-security is there a reason to limit?Similar for SUSE. We currently have 3 engineers rotating through the incident manager role (and myself).
Same for Debian. We are currently cycling through a one week "front desk" period. Limiting that access to 2-3 people of the team would make that approach a bit unpractical for us in terms of handling undisclosed issues. I also would welcome it if people who have been active on oss-sec and v-sec before should be allowed back to this list. I can understand that you want to keep the list of subscribers low in order to prevent leaks. But from a practical point of view I see really no difference if a mail is passed to a team exploder of a distro by one of the allowed subscribers or directly sent to these members, at least in terms of attack surface/leaking risks. The only practical difference I see is who would be responsible for such an incident. But if it's just about moving the responsibility out of the list itself to the vendor while keeping the number of subscribers low you could as well subscribe our team@ alias and encrypt mails with the team key.
