Hi,
I asked my original question to see if the process could be improved.
For instance, it would be good if there was direct pointers to the
various distributions page where packaging state and availability for
various releases would be shown and updates. This is what can be found
for several other security bug scenarios. Especially for security
updates, it is more important for coordinating the efforts and help
showing how this is handed off. While each party have their
responsibility, they way things coordinate can be important for how
smooth the upgrade becomes for the users. I wanted to just ask about it
to see if there is improvements to be done.
For the moment, I don't have 4.2.8p10 available in my version of distro
(Debian testing). Packaging is important to many, so this is to
illustrate possible improvements.

I think a message should go out to (almost?) all lists when security fixes
are available to the general public.
The first mail on questions was David Taylor's announcement of the
availability of Windows binaries. There was no mention of a security release
.
I just checked the archives for announce. Nothing since April 2015.
The hackers list has only 3 messages in March. None was an announcement.
If the mailing list traffic has moved to other lists and/or venues, then
please make an official announcement and disable the old lists. (but please
save the archives)
