On the radar: who gets on the linux-distros mailing list?
linux-distros is where vulnerabilities and fixes are discussed prior to public disclosure. Given the nature of the material discussed, it is unsurprising that membership is limited. I seriously doubt they would let me on it...
CIQ (Rocky Linux) would like to join:
https://lwn.net/ml/oss-security/20231001130223.GA6586@openwall.com/
There has been some opposition to this membership, seemingly based on the ideas that (1) Rocky Linux isn't doing much of the way of original distribution work, and (2) as a (relatively) community-oriented project, it lacks a way to keep secrets. This view is not universally held, though.
Meanwhile, openEuler also wants in:
https://lwn.net/ml/oss-security/ZSyUUSF_-3YbT14k@workstation/
The concern here is potential legal issues related to openEuler's Chinese origins.
