As I mentioned in the debian-devel thread, I realize only now that
many emails (about 20% in our case), that are listed as package
maintainers, are public mailing lists. That's unfortunate, but
hopefully most reported bugs will not be security critical.

That's a good point, and it looks like a majority of the crashes have
little security implications. The security tags will be removed before
submitting the report, unless advised otherwise by the package
maintainers.

Thanks,
