Rafael,

I'm also sorry you had to write this...

There should have been someone watching this component, and I'm sorry there wasn't (largely because the relevant code is not really actively maintained, unfortunately). This is why we're trying to get explicit triage rotations set up for all components right now. I believe that if that were already in place three months ago, this would not have happened.

I don't know why the setup we have in place for explicitly triaging security bugs failed in this case, or what happened with the mails to secur...@mozilla.org, since I'm not privy to the former nor on the latter list. Something clearly failed badly there. :(

In any case, thank you very much for both filing the bugs and for bringing this issue up. For these two particular bugs, we're going to figure out who can look at them who somewhat understands the relevant code and has time; this will likely take a few days to sort out. For the general problem, I think the regular triage rotations will give us a much better handle on things and will prevent things from falling through the cracks like this.

-Boris
