What about Charlie Root testing something remotely through cron and then send a
reminder: "A hole was found in OpenBSD, please follow instructions at
http://www.openbsd.org/blahblah.html to fix it."

That could be easy to implement, could use authentization to prevent spoof
panic attacks, and would make sure even people who don't read mailing lists
plug their holes in a timely fashion.
