There is another benefit to notifying the vendor first -
There have been instances of public disclosure of a vulnerability that was not being exploited until the general populace was made aware. Thus, many companies and individuals felt the pain and suffered losses long before the vendor could respond and provide a fix. Sometimes the whistle-blower causes the problem by making it public first.
