Hi,

I have some questions regarding our procedures for responsible disclosure of
security bugs in Shindig.  Instructions from Apache on how to disclose
security issues in a project are given here:
http://apache.org/security/committers.html.

1. Does Shindig have a private list of individuals who respond to security
issues?
2. Is there a published list of past security issues so that people
deploying Shindig can ensure their versions are patched against known
security bugs?

Anecdotally, Shindig security issues emailed to secur...@apache.org have
fallen through the cracks in the past.  I'd like us to adopt a policy which
ensures that all reported vulnerabilities are eventually fixed and disclosed
and which gives those who deploy Shindig to have a reasonable amount of time
to update.  The documentation for JIRA suggests that it can be configured to
create private security issues but
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG is not configured this way.
 For security patches under review, the codereview tool supports keeping an
issue private to the creator and reviewer until the patch has been
submitted.

Regards
Jasvir
