Had it been some remotely exploitable bug which was not yet patched, then I would be annoyed. For the record, filing a PR isn't always enough, either. There are a lot filed, and we often get very behind on them. :) So, if you do find a security issue in the future, please directly e-mail security-officer@freebsd.org so that it gets handled properly. If you find less serious bugs, feel free to drop me an e-mail if mail to the -net list falls on deaf ears.
