I incorporated your suggestions to bold/italicize the updates.

Chris, Andrea,

Good suggestion. If I could go one further, I'd suggest an explicit bold 
statement in the user/dev list sections saying not to post security stuff 
there. I.e.:
<h3>User List</h3>
This list is for end users blah blah blah <b>Do <i>Not</i> report security 
vulnerabilities here. See the Security blah blah section</b>

(and the same again in the Developer Lists box)

The problem with having a specific highlighted box is that some people (and I 
include myself in this) simply don't "see" them.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Andrea,

It took me a second to find the security block.  I completely overlooked the 
blue field.

Maybe add a new header under the “User List”
<h3>User List</h3>
This list is for end users blah blah blah

<h3>Reporting Security Vulnerabilities</h3>
If you encounter a security vulnerability blah blah blah

<h3>Posting Guidelines</h3>
Please read through etc. etc. etc.
Thought I’d say blah again didn’t you

<h3>Developer Lists</h3>
The rest of the page, and so on



This might draw attention?

The comm page, where I believe you found info on registering for the user list,
has a clear warning not to post security vulnerabilities:

http://geoserver.org/comm/

"If you encounter a security vulnerability in GeoServer please take care to 
report the issue in a responsible fashion. Do not use the mailing list, go 
intead to the Jira bug tracker instead and follow the "Responsible disclosure" 
instructions there."

How do we make it more plain and evident so that grave mistakes do not occur 
anymore in the future?
Maybe we should switch the background color of that box to red...

Regards
Andrea
