Well, that sounds fair, but be warned, that the audit files are
specially for our track and doesn't have to be 100% reliable. Watching
the package announce list for [SECURITY] things can be always relied on,
though it will have some latency compared to this, as packagers need
time to roll updates. Anyways, knowing about the vulnerability and not
having the updated package avaliable is not always usable.
I'd also argue that if this
is the preferred way, then a new list for security discussions would
be
a better way to change things.
So you are for separating the lists. Is the only issue the name of the
list? In that case, the CVS logs traditionally go to -commits mailing
lists. I assume it won't be much of an issue for you to subscribe to
that one and unsubscribe this one eventually, if you're not interested
in discussions, just in raw audit data.
