What "vendors list" do you mean?  Do you possibly mean "vendor's" rather
than "vendors" - that is, upstream's list?  (I do not recall seeing this
on the linux-distros list.)

Actually, I was referring to the discussion on linux-distros about
apport and abrt.

Either way, it sounds weird to keep a low severity issue private.  Low
severity usually means not needing an embargo in the first place.  But I
guess it was the vendor's preference?

Sure, I didn't mention it for the benefit of anyone actually working
on linux security. I just wanted to be clear this was expected, as
unfortunately my posts tend to get undesired attention.

Tavis.
