Overall, as a researcher I would prefer having a way just to
inform distros of a bug, *without* being subject to these
requirements.

Problem is, at least some of the distribution representatives don't
want to be privy to indefinitely secret information like exploits,
as that's also a liability for them. They're willing to tolerate it
for a brief period, but don't wish to be responsible for keeping
your secret forever.
