14 What about the announcement item in the forums? If one GLSA does appear
15 there, ALL should. If you don't maintain the security announcements in
16 the forum, then scrap it. All places where security announcements are
17 issued should be kept in sync under all circumstances. It's better to
18 scrap one of these places then having it out of sync.

26 I renewed my subscription. Anything else worked without flaws so I
27 assumed the same for gentoo-announce.

29 I appreciate your fast answer. I hope you do agree that there is still
30 much to be done. It would be a good start to maintain the announcement
31 page in the forums so that they are in sync with the other media until
32 the announcements get their own website.

34 The way things run right now I am not content with Gentoo. It is a great
35 distribution but security still lacks the necessary professional touch.
36 My criticism is not ill-tempered. I want Gentoo to improve. So if you
37 still need someone to fill into your security team or do other work to
38 maintain or coordinate things, feel free to drop me a note.

40 kind regards,
