Note on Exim 3 status

[Nigel Metheringham]

Folks,

I have put together a page on the Exim wiki on the status of Exim 3.
Debian has a particular stake in Exim 3.  You folks also know the
official as-near-supported-as-possible route for updating folks on woody
to exim4.

Please could you correct the last section of the wiki page.

Additionally I am currently discussing things with a few folks regarding
handling security issue handling - the last security bugs came at a
particularly bad time (23rd December means everyone is away for
Christmas), and so our co-ordination for rolling out bug fixes was not
good.

If anyone has any specific input to that, or can point me to a document
for software package maintainers on handling/releasing security updates
to distribution folks in the best manner, then please drop me a line.

Finally, there is now a closed exim-maintainers@exim.org list.  This is
intended for handling issues (maybe including security releases) that
are not suitable for exim-dev.  I think adding one or more of the Debian
folks would be useful.
