Full disclosure... True. Nobody is taking issue with the content, just the timing.

10 days is an unreal expectation. Though 10 days may feel like a long time to you sir, it whizez by inside of a growth company such as Google.

This type of disclosure is where the motivation for OIS comes from. I am not saying I agree with the OIS 'partner' agendas or their execution- though there is some genuine interest in setting basic guidelines based on industry experiance, not regulating research or its biproducts (imho not gunna happen). So where is the middle ground as it applies to research.

It's about posting security advisories.  The initial poster advises
they notified the gmail team, and posted this advisory 10 days later.

It is immaterial whether an application is in alpha, beta or
production.  If the software or application is in use outside the
development team, and there is a security issue, it is relevant to
this list.

It's called Full Disclosure for a reason... not partial disclosure,
not disclosure of production applications only... Full Disclosure.

If you want partial disclosure, you may need to rethink your
subscription to the list.

If it's not about respect then what is it about? 

You have no respect for the Gmail Team, that's for sure.

I guess this list isn't about respect...

It's about kiddies posting advisories and exploits for fun and little
care for the vendor(s).

I have already contacted Gmail about 10 days ago, but I have not received any 
replies till this moment.

I don't think this is about respect afterall.
