Perhaps its time to update the disclosure policy. It does not seem to be working as intended. Hindsight being 20/20, it makes sense since it appears the "foxes are guarding the henhouse." I believe its the reason for Bugtraq and Full Disclosure. At minimum, it seems appropriate to include US Cert (or other Cert's) once a good faith effort has been made to have the vendor fix the defects. Vendors can string folks like you and I along, but they have less success with folks like country-wide cert's. I once used DE Cert to report some issues with GnuPG on Windows. Interestingly, I was asked to provide funding for the fix even though I submitted sample code demonstrating the fix. (Crowd sourcing is a myth - don't drink the Kool-aide).
