Who is expected to do the actual work of tracking CVEs, making action
points and performing the actions? The current reality is this: the
security update work is done ad hoc by community, even for stable branches.
There is no rigorous security process like in Debian, and no roles to
follow in that process. This means that if no one bothers to make a patch,
the security issue will remain unfixed, and this does happen often. If you
are expecting anything else (e.g. that listed recipe maintainers should do
something), you're setting yourself up to be disappointed.
