The discussion on how ooo-security would (or would not) work, and how 
cooperation with other security teams would (or would not work) was quite 
public and visible on ooo-dev.

How is it that this "reciprocal action" occurred and was made known to the 
Apache OOo podling?  And how is it that it was performed on 
[email protected] ? When did that become a TDF property?  Who is the 
"our" in whose name a reciprocal action was taken?  

If this was a race to demonstrate who is the least trustworthy in these 
matters, I concede that you won.  Feel better now?

Now, how is détente to be achieved?

        I would instead seriously suggest that the Apache OOo decision to
exclude non-committers from the security list (undoing years of trust
and co-operation here) plus our reciprocal action is the ultimate root
cause of this communication problem. Fixing that by re-visiting that
decision seems like the cheapest approach. Having dozens of contact
points for umpteen different lists seems like a sure-fire recipe for
disaster.
