Didn't we set up a "security swat team" some time ago? If not, we should. Regardless, since I have more free time these days, I'd like to be on it.
Yep, it's called security@python.org (with a semi-secret backing mailing list, which I'd be happy for you to join!). I definitely think that group of folks at the least should review the results.
Well, if we start volunteering here, I'll volunteer as well. (For either group.) Can't let Tim have all the fun!
I also sent mail to Ben volunteering. I expect the scope of defects recognized is larger than just security. In particular, the compiler has a large body of code that has never been released before. It would nice to catch a few of its bugs before a release :-).
