I'm thinking a good way for people to accomplish things is just to do
them.

If you find a security problem or notice one and produce a patched or
new and working package put it up somewhere. Tell people on this list,
just do the work. If you notice a problem that needs to be patched then
post a link to it here, etc. just do the work, try to help out.

The proposals and policies and systems be damned.

I'll just be patching things and seeing about providing fixed rpms
whenever I can.

oh and if anyone wonders why you should trust any package I put together
I think my answer is:
 a lot of you are using code I wrote to update your systems, so you're
already trusting me :)
