Why has this not happened yet? This has been a known problem for quite a long time... The answer is simple: Not everybody can become a security team member, the required technical skills are quite high. There is a VERY high commitment requirement as well, so even some of the skilled people do not become part of the security team. Besides _that_, most people agree that creating new code is more fun than patching existing code, so even less people step into that position. Remember this is a volunteer project. I know of no extra volunteers willing to take up such a task as Security. You repeatedly talk about adding man-power to it. So... Are you in?
