Hi.
I think Debian has the following two problems (or rather its security
conscious users) with respect to software that gets into the system:
No idea whether what you're proposing is relevant or not....but
there's something I'm deeply sure of : that won't be solved through a
"general" bug report.
Such vague bug reports are usually either quickly closed....or just
ignored by everybody in the project.
Well, the messages sent to this bugreport land in debian-devel, which
looks appropriate for this kind of discussions, IMHO. Be it a bugreport
or a simple message sent to the list, it doesn't look very different.
Once discussion happens and we have a clear idea on what is needed to
do, we will be able to describe a concrete plan or, aternatively, close
the bugreport because nothing is needed to do. The concrete plan could
be several bugreports files where appropriate, blocking this one.
We do already track discussions in bugreports (Tech-ctte issues for
example), even if the initial request might be very vague or quite
complicated.
