Volunteer project ... I don't think anyone has volunteered to wear that hat. (a long time ago, I was on a bunch of security-announce mailing lists and made sure to follow-up on any ports that looked like they needed patching, but I don't have free time to do that no - and the number of ports we have is /much/ larger). -- Daniel J.
