If you see any ads on this or any other wordpress.com blog, they are Automattic's. Not mine. Nothing to do with me.

If any of them offend you or seem inappropriate, do please inform our Google overlords.

Y’know, I kinda have a problem with someone who comes up with a little potential (maybe kinda sorta might be a problem someday) XSS situation wanting credit….

I know linkbacks are eeeeevil but if somebody’s patch is a vital component of a new release it’s not unreasonable to want to be credited, regardless of who you are or what your motives might be.
The worry is that if the devs continue to treat security patches and warnings in this cavalier way, people are going to go direct to the security mailing lists rather than hang around on IRC begging for acknowledgement. Cue mass panic on the forums. But then, I guess that’s not their problem.
