I'm assuming that, out of the mutual concerns we all share for the community of 
ODF supporters, that it might be appropriate to suggest to a reporter that they 
take their report to a different security@ address that might be more 
appropriate for immediate attention and action.

The existence and staffing of ooo-security is part of AOOo
development.  It is not something outside of a development process.
Not every report we receive necessarily results in the production of
an urgent patch.  But if such a situation occurred, then we'd discuss
on ooo-security and develop a recommendation.  But regardless of the
disposition of the report, I think it is important to respect the
privacy of the reporter.
