I think the most important thing is to keep not only the maintainers
informed, but also our general users. Including giving them. mitigation
advice and explaining exactly what the problem is or was.
Yes, this would be the role of the communications team outlined in the
proposal. When it is crunch time, it is *incredibly* important to have
people other than the active responders doing this, because a) it frees them
up to concentrate on getting fixes out and b) they're probably frazzled
enough to make it hard to communicate clearly.
I must also say, the response time was quite good too, looking at
package build times, compared to the time when I was informed of the
issue. The only problem were the mirrors not syncing up fast enough,
which makes me wonder if we should dump security fixes into a
sub-directory in updates, which mirrors could sync up faster.
Yes. <
