Re: [gentoo-dev] GLEP #14: security updates based on GLSA

[Ned Ludd]

Hands down I fully support this and your efforts so far in gentoo.

Also to go along with this GLEP I think we need to start talking about
the need for a herd solely devoted to security related issues in gentoo
linux. Not just a herd to be announced to -dev that does not have much
use like say "mysql" or "net-irc" but something subnational with a set
of predefined goals,guidelines,policies and procedures for achieving
those goals. The GLEP is/was the right way to go/start with this.
For the last week I've been trying to take a much more active interest
in bugs that have been assigned to security@g.o in the bugzilla
system but have felt a little misguided on who to talk to for a final
resolution for a said bug. What I would like to help do is form a
security herd for the sole purpose of closing/opening/researching
security bugs for gentoo linux. 
Thus far it seems we have a security team of 1. I think/know aliz could
use some help in this area. I think it would be ideal if we could back
him up and elect/vote aliz to the the project manager for said herd.
