3 Currently, package maintainers are CCed to security bugs when their are
4 needed. The problem is that, once maintainers add a fixed version and
5 tell security team they are ok to get it stabilized, maintainers are
6 kept CCed until bug is closed by security team. This usually means
7 getting a lot of mail after some time when security team discuss if a
8 GLSA should be filled or not, if security bot adds some comment... some
9 of that comments are applied to really old bugs that need no action from
10 maintainers.

12 Maybe would be interesting to change the policy to unCC maintainers
13 again when their action is no longer required.

15 What do you think?

17 Thanks for your thoughts
