While I am amused that your first words after "hopefully will attract fewer 
trolls" themselves include a mean-spirited troll, I'm sorry you think a 
collaborative security mailing list with shared, collaborative ownership is 
"redundant". 

We clearly have very different views of the world. I continue to think such a 
list holds great opportunity for collaboration since it was working in that 
role for many months, but it's hard to see how it can now be the securityteam@ 
list, unfortunately (unless your'e speaking alone, of course).

Hard to see how that would work since it would require the source to be highly 
similar and that looks unlikely to be the case.

Hard to see how two very different source trees can have a shared browser. It 
would be best for Apache to run its own instance.

Plausible in the future but a little early to be proposing it - YAGNI applies.

I believe I once proposed such a thing, and was told by both communities that 
licensing issues would largely prevent it.

Delighted to hear you are now such a fan of co-operation though, Rob. I'll be 
sure to support any viable proposals you present to both communities.
