Yes, in the end this is about getting Stas some help here. He has been
doing an incredible job for years now handling all these annoying
off-by-one and >2gb string bugs. I occasionally read through the patches,
but I haven't been doing it consistently and even though there are a few
other people on security@ who occasionally look through the patches, it
obviously isn't enough.
As a first step perhaps we just need to expand security@ a bit with the
specific call for volunteers to help review security patches?
