Announcement regarding the oss-security mailing list

[Leo Famulari]

I think that several of us are subscribed to oss-security as part of our
effort to learn about upstream security issues in a timely manner.

A couple days ago, MITRE decided to stop assigning CVEs from the list:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q1/351

So, I expect that we will see fewer bugs sent to oss-security, and Guix
developers interested in package security may need to adjust their
approach to learning about such bugs.

Let's share some tips on where to find this information.

I look at the lwn.net security advisories, the Debian security-announce
mailing list, `guix lint -c cve`, the upstream bug trackers of a handful
of packages, and even some Twitter personalities.

What about you?
