Though it won't solve many of the problems mentioned, particularly:
1) Bugs that originate in private through the numerous private mailing lists
2) Obvious and explicit security information mentioned in attached bugzilla entries getting
omitted from changelogs
3) root-based bugs not only being downplayed, but specifically labeled as not security
relevant (defeats the purpose of SELinux, SMACK, capabilities)

It may help in raising more awareness regarding the invalid userland dereference class of
bugs, which seem to most often get ignored.  (Microsoft hopefully is paying similar attention:

With that said, you're of course welcome to CC me on relevant mails as well.
