We can't assume that there aren't eavesdroppers on this list.

When I worked for a major vendor in the software (and hardware) field, this
was debated endlessly. We always fell back on the position that we would
announce a security hole when the a patch was available, not before.

That being said, if they are going to post the vulnerability on the Wiki page, and not e-mail it, I may not find out about it until someone has hacked my Wiki site.
