:No, it is closed, as it should be as potential security problems are
:mailed there. You don't want that to be totally open, right?
One suggestion I've made in the past is to have the list _archives_ be
open. So anything older than, say, a month is made public. That way,
folks can see how issues were disclosed, how decisions were reached,
etc. for old issues that are no longer under embargo. The way I see
it, if we don't publish the list archive on our own terms, miscreants
will get around to publishing it for us.
