infra-dev@ is public.

infra@ is technically private but allows any committer to subscribe,
which makes it wider than is suitable for some discussions (such as "Who
is going to install that security patch that has just been announced?").

> Does that make sense?  Or would you recommend something else?

Hard to say: some topics should be public and some topics need to be
private, but I don't know what topics you guys are looking for a place
to discuss, so I can't say whether a private list or a public list would
better meet your needs.

I'd also like to point out that allowing any committer to make changes
--- when that is easy to implement, does not raise security or privacy
issues, and does not lead to abuse --- makes the project more
inclusionary, which is a good thing.

It's not unlike enabling non-committers to review patches.

ASF mirrors do not contain .asc, .md5, .sha1 files.  We should probably
verify that in our regular checks, if we don't do so already.

Assuming "real mirrors have no .md5/.asc files" holds, assuming a user
downloads a rogue .md5 means either the user is using a rogue download
page or there's a rogue .md5 in https://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/
--- these are both acceptable risks (the latter because it will have
generated a commit mail which the PMC is supposed to catch).

Everyone.  The PMC is REQUIRED to verify the .asc files in a release
before voting on it.  That means verifying it's signed by the correct
key, too.

Right.  The normal answer here is "They will have to commit to the dist/
repository which will cause a post-commit mail which someone will
notice".  I'd be interested in hearing (on infra-dev@) how you break
this without assuming a mirror gets compromised (if _that_ happens,

FWIW, over at Subversion we (a) have a 'patch' label in the bug tracker,
(b) have a volunteer who pings [patch] threads that have petered out
without the patch being either applie or rejected.

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/roles#patch-manager

Perhaps one or both of these ideas would be useful here.

Can you please not take this personally?  It was just a commit review.

To the point: I agree with Andrea: it would have been good if you had
been more conservative and discussed the security implications
privately.  That's because of the a small chance that your assessment
that the announced issue does not affect ooo-wiki2-vm will turn out to
be a false negative: if somebody replies to your post and says "Hey,
false negative", you really want _that_ to happen privately.

Security issues in services running on apache.org hardware should be

I think you could define:

The 21st line after a formfeed will contain the incubator URL in new
working copies too.  Don't worry about implementation details please ---
if 'svn info' and 'svnversion' give the right output, you're fine.

'svn switch' not 'svn checkout' --- uses less bandwidth.
