So to put it bluntly: who are you, and why should we give you access
to distros? A quick google search shows you do appear to work for
vmware, but I can't find any contributions or participation in any
public forum like oss-security and so on.
I can attest that Monty is my colleague and the Manager of VMware Security Response Center. As a former colleague of 
you (Kurt) and also former linux-distros subscriber, I would like to ask for your consideration for subscribing Monty 
(or myself) to linux-distros on behalf of VMware. Although ESXi isn't a Linux distribution, it implements 
Linux-compatible system calls and provides a GNU/Linux -like ecosystem that allows many applications that are compiled 
on/for Linux operating systems to run seamlessly. This ecosystem includes OSS that should be supported in timely 
fashion pretty much like like any other Linux distribution on the list. It also implements a Linux kernel module 
interface and uses many Linux device drivers and kernel modules that also should be supported. In addition, ESXi is the 
base layer that many of the Linux distributions on the list rely upon and run atop of in many datacenters around the 
world.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again for your consideration.
