Maybe this means that a security-devel list is in order. Or maybe developers don't need a security list because security is always foremost in their minds ;-) My experience is that a mailing list that has been lost to a group of people has a real challenge regaining those people. It seems to be easier to start a new mailing list. Full-disclosure had a really good start until it fell prey to Stoopid Eediots (tm) who used it for their ego wars. Freebsd-security-devel?
