	I argue that one bug report is enough.  Seriously, we are in
the security business and there are bound to be security holes.  These
tend to get handled through personal email in the past and never
really documented anywhere.  Security holes are the worst kind of bug
not to have long-lasting history about.

	Besides, once implemented, the structure is simple:

* Add anyone who asks to krb5-prs-public

*  Suggest to developers that they add themselves to krb5-prs-internal
