I got a majordomo confirmation about 10 hours after submitting on the web 
form.  I also got a note (strangely, after I confirmed) that said it was a 
closed list, meaning that subs had to be approved by the moderator.

I've received 10 posts since then.  They seem to be more-or-less as 
advertised.  Content is roughly similar to the public vulnerability 
database from SecurityFocus.

One gets the impression that they might be a bit low on resources at them 
moment.  People or equipment, I can't tell.
