Okay, maybe we should consider creating a closed-subscription
non-public-archives security AT cygwin DOT com mailing list (however,
cygwin.org and sourceware.org are not the right domains).  Or at least
update the web page to mention secalert AT redhat DOT com as a reasonable
alternative closed list to contact with potential Cygwin security flaws.
 I'll leave that up to others with actual admin rights on the cygwin.com
box, though.

Shouting at people is not the friendliest way to resolve security or
other issues.
