1) In bug #473770 upstream gave sufficient information.  I stated so in
comments #1 and #2 with links.  You ignored this fact and proceeded to
p.mask in comment #3.  This CVE should never have been filed.  Its junk.

2) Bug #459274 is not a security bug.  A CVE request was filed by Ago
which, as far as I can tell, went no where.  The log file in question
does not disclose much more than one could obtain with just ps and
netstat.  I fixed a related issue with access.log in bug #459274.

3) My point on IRC is that you are acting on junk CVEs and I question
your judgment.  You can't produce "substantiated and verifiable
information" on junk.  Your above paragraph eclipses that side of my
argument and strawmans me.

I personally would like to see only QA oversee any forced p.maskings and
have the security team pass that task over to QA for review.  By forced
I mean without the cooperation of the maintainer.
