2) Joey himself essentially runs the stable Security Team, which is the most opaque team within Debian. No one outside the team gets to see inside how the team operates, because of unreleased security information. It's also very difficult for someone new to join the team, as they have to gain Joey's trust.

Come on, that isn't entirely fair. There is a lot of work going on at the moment into making the security team a lot more transparent. To some extent, this has already been done, see the testing secuirty team and model.
The aim is to integrate these teams and simply have updates for all releases that have either embargoed issues (ie: ones that arrive via vendor-sec) and unembergoed which arrive by other means.
