Who handles the errata page, assigning the sequential numbers and deciding whether it's a security fix or not? Surely, it would be easier to teach that small set of people (one?) to cc the mailing list on a security announcement, rather than expect that everyone with a core commit bit be reminded to watch errata to notice when their particular contribution has been accepted as a security patch.
