Was there a discussion or even an announcement indicating that the security-related port commit messages would be sent to freebsd-security? This seems to have started just this month. Like William, I also find the explosion of commit messages and bug tracking minutia detracts from the low volume and high value of the freebsd-security list. The list description on mailman indicates the intent of the list is to be a 'high-signal, low-noise discussion of issues affecting the security of FreeBSD.' Including every single obliquely security related port commit seems counter to this intention. I'd very much like to see a separate list for the automated port postings, leaving this list to it's historical usage.
