Yes, I know he is interested. I've actually done this previously, see my
talk at Debconf3:
http://people.debian.org/~jfs/debconf/security/
and these reports:

Yep, that's more or less what I'm thinking about. Although I would like

vulnerability has increased if you compare the different releases and it
will probably be worst once sarge is released)
