We had this discussion a while ago. There is no mailing list that
provides qualified answers to security-related questions. You are
fighting windmills. These questions will come to this mailing list, as
long as there is no freebsd-security-questions.
Sorry, I have no idea what needs to be done to start such a mailing
list. Can people more versed in the FreeBSD mailing list procedures
please explain how such a mailing list can be started?

So that people who search the mailing list archives first be unable to
find the answer and send their question to the list anyway?

PS: I have to admit that I'm always confused by the difference in
policies between debian-security and freebsd-security. The Debian
crowd welcomes all questions related to security while the freebsd
crowd seems to be obsessed with policies.
