Josh's point is that if you don't want to publicize a vulnerability
to the entire world in advance of there being any chance to fix it,
you don't send your report to an open, publicly-archived bugs list.
We don't really have an official security contact. The next best thing
is to send such reports to pgsql-core, which is not an open list, but
will reach a good chunk of those with an interest in fixing such
problems.
