@infosecdj@infosec.exchange @drwhax@infosec.exchange You're right in that it would help but good samaritans aren't enough to fix the problem. It would be best if there was put some actual funding into open-source security (given how important it is) but that's a political problem well out of our control as individual developers.

@png@yap.pony.biz @drwhax@infosec.exchange That's true! In an ideal world that could be the norm. But until that's in place, at least some of us could chip in. Wasn't that the way things were ran in the good old days -- submitting patches for problems? A crowd pointing at problems all the time can be strongly demotivating, but it does not have to be that way. Yet I am still to hear of a security expert submitting solutions together with problems they point out. A rare animal indeed. ;-)
