This leaves administrative task 10 with no primary yet, though:

etc.) and inform the reporter and the list in case an issue is made
public prematurely (that is, leaks or is independently rediscovered) -
primary: vacant, backup: Amazon

Does this mean Amazon will be taking care of it until we find a primary?
Or only in cases when no other distro (visibly) does?

Ideally, a distro should volunteer to be primary for that task now, so
that Amazon wouldn't have to volunteer for more than they offered.

I don't mind making us primary here.  I don't think backup/primary
really matter for this one the more folks doing this the better.

Thanks.  Amazon is now primary for this task.  I agree this doesn't
require coordination except possibly to avoid duplicate work, so
multiple other distros are welcome to contribute to this task as well.
