There certainly have been exceptions to that rule.  The maintainer of
shorewall has been trying for weeks to get a DSA issued about a
vulnerability, and it seems we have to convince Joey that it *is* a
vulnerability before he'll issue it.  (I don't understand this - how can
Joey even *try* to understand every security bug?)  Repeated attempts to
communicate this have been met with silence.
