Well,... since you've asked so kindly, I've forwarded it upstream,
though I don't expect anything to happen and don't make me responsible
to keep that tracked ;-)

Well,... ask people like Bradley/Chelsea Manning or others like from
totalitarian countries (CN, AF, CU, SA,... and so on).
I guess if any of those would have relied on anonymity just to find out
that the respective regime was laughing at it when they saw&caught him
by using epiphany... they wouldn't consider it hyperbole.

Nah,... I'm really tired of these severity-wars and as e.g. #702976
(which is open for some years now and describes any TLS in epiphany
being effectively useless - but as said I haven't checked whether it's
fixed already) shows, the security team doesn't necessarily handle
things better.

IMHO, having bugs open with higher severities shouldn't be considered a
personal offence / shame / whatever by the maintainers... but rather as
a simple means of reaching people through the proper means (e.g.
apt-listbugs) which may be heavily affected by an issue.


Cheers,
Chris.
