* No, we can not release/share reproducers on a public list.
We do not need researchers to release or share reproducers though, we
"only" encourage people who contribute bugfixes (esp. for
security-sensitive issues) to add a qtest testcase. Often the testcase
would have no resemblance to the original reproducer (or even always,
except for fuzzed issues).
Would that be allowed? If not, we have a problem, because it means we
cannot follow the basic principle of regression testing.

Ok, that at least wasn't clear to me. Thanks for making it clearer.
