I have no idea where the original thread happened, at least I didn't
see any mails before this one.

The structures are pretty well defined.  Each project is supposed to
have at least one security liaison that the security committee knows
about.  Incoming security issues are supposed to go through this
liaison, but recent mails to the PMC list suggest it doesn't happen
that way.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], IMHO.  This along with a new
Tomcat release that fixes the issue.

>From my experience fix => release => announce is the process used by
other projects, including httpd.  And from an end-user standpoint the
process that makes sense the most.

I think we should follow the httpd way
<http://httpd.apache.org/security_report.html> is linked from the main
navigation.  If you look into one of the pages linked from there, it
goes to apacheweek for some reasin, but we should be able to produce
the same sort of content ourselves.
