"Firstly, I don't think that the LKML is an appropriate forum to discuss security vulnerabilities."

Perhaps not to disclose, but a mail to the list, saying 'Who's responsible for section YYY in the kernel, the MAINTAINERS file isn't clear on this' to the kernel list would no doubt have resulted in a mail address within hours (or perhaps minutes).
