Hi!

I subscribed to security-announce a long time ago and thought I would receive information about security annoucements, but contrary to what is stated on http://openbsd.org/mail.html:

"security-announce - Security announcements. This low volume list receives OpenBSD security advisories and pointers to security patches as they become available.",

as is easily verifyable here:

http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-security-announce/

together with:

http://openbsd.org/errata44.html,

the patches are not announced.

If the stated annoucement process via mailing list is unreliable or untimely, I'd think it's useless, and with it that mailing list.

Four of those 4.4 patches are listed as reliability patches and not security patches. So I can why they were not posted to the security list. There is only one security patch there and that is patch 001.

I'm sure one of the developers will correct me if I am wrong but that is my assumption.
