Hi Yves,

I hope this is the right place to ask for inclusion of a Qlustar contact
in the linux-distros list.

Qlustar is a Ubuntu/Debian based distro targeted at HPC/Storage/Cloud
clusters. We use our own kernels (typically based on vanilla) since many
years, but have the need to supply timely security fixes to our users. So
far we have to wait for other distros to come out with their
announcements and then start analyzing the fixes they have done. This
leaves us/our users with a vulnerability window that is way too large,

I can't speak for Ubuntu, but you're welcome to participate in the
Debian security effort.

thanks a lot for your offer. Could you explain a little more what
participation in the Debian security effort would mean? Note that the issue I
currently have is mostly about kernel fixes and we don't use Debian nor
Ubuntu kernels.

Cheers,

Roland
