It is possible that some reports would be shared.  It is also possible
that some would not.  For example, a report might be a duplicate.  It
might be wrong.  It might be spam.  It might require a followup to
clarify. It might involve code that doesn't exist in LibreOffice.  The
discretion with the PPMC and their delegates.

The Apache Security page makes it clear to reporters that they are
reporting a vulnerability to Apache where it will be discussed
privately by the project team.  They are not told that their report,
with their name, company affiliation and other contact info, will be
shared more broadly than that.  So even in instances where we did
share information, such as with a 3rd party expert or via a
pre-notification, that initial report would only be shared in
anonymized form.
