My sincerest apologies for not sending this to oss-security in the
appropriate time. We (the git-security) list had discussed that I would

The remainder of Alexander's guidance is correct from our perspective.
I'll make sure to avoid this mishap in the future by remembering to
email this list more promptly. Thanks, and sorry again.
