There is no special policy yet.

>From the point of the trac-hacks.org site admins, the author(s) and/or
maintainer(s) of a plugin are responsible to fix security issues. Thus
usually a reporter of security issues should try to get in contact with
them first.

If that fails, or - as in this case - if the plugin is currently
unmaintained I think it would be best to file a ticket for the issue,
describe it as detailed as possible and provide a patch, if available.
That way users of the plugin have a chance of learning about the issue and
apply the patch themselves, if necessary. And it allows a future
maintainer to apply the patch to the repository.

However, I'm all ears for any better suggestion on how these things could
be handled.

Bye, Mike
