    I don't know that much about vendor-sec, but wouldn't the kernel list
    contain roughly the same set of people? vendor-sec also has people
    from the *BSDs, I believe, but they should probably notified of Linux
    issues as well (often, similar mistakes are made in different
    implementations).

    If the readership is the same, it doesn't make sense to run two lists,
    especially because it's not a normal list and you have to be capable
    to deal with the vetting.

    I agree that embargoed lists are nasty, but sometimes, you have to
    make personal sacrifices to further the cause. 8-(
