Speaking of incident procedures. If you can point me to specific well documented pubic incident reporting procedures, I'd gladly take a look at them as a reference for Fedora's. I know Debian had an intrusion in 2004, and did a very good job of dealing with it. But its not clear if the Debian people were working from an established process or just winging it. Does Debian have a publicly communicated process on how intrusions are to be handled and communicated when they occur? If they do I'd love to read over it.

No doubt you are looking for something fiddlingly detailed. And there is no doubt something more specific. But it all pretty much follows from this:

It may be that more distros need one, or need to pay more than lip service to what they have.

Things only get complicated when the one wants to apply "spin" to the disclosure, or lack thereof.
