The very first result for “revocation Heartbleed” returns
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.security.
policy/ItSu2bebBKk/VrNXwL-MCZgJ , for example, which also links to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994033

This also came up during the StartCom distrust decision, also linked from

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.security.policy/TbDYE69YP8E/
JpdMjH98GQAJ , which included related bugs.
