Sebb thank you for your analysis!

Two issues; one, the reply-to field of security announcements was set to
security@, and this is in direct contravention of Apache policy. Security@
is exclusively for reporting undisclosed vulnerabilities, and all other
traffic is ignored. This group of email addresses must never be shared
without context and usage guidance. Please, never do that again.

Two, this announce is still not published to ann@a.o. What is the next step
to cause this to happen? Daniel, could you use a conventional mail agent to
wrap this cycle up?
