Construction of a dynamic website for tracking kernel security issues. There are too many of them and too many kernels to do this through the normal GLSA process, and currently users are kept in the dark about fixed security issues.
Tim had started developing a site for this ("KISS") but it was never finished and had the large downside that it relies upon an operator duplicating lots of information from bugzilla and the ebuild tree into KISS.
Such a system would be able to automatically pull a large proportion of the required information relatively easily. It would offer functionality to allow users to sign up for security announcements and fixes for their kernel(s) of choice, as well as feeding the same info into a mailing list for all kernels.
