Lack of notification of security notices

As per the FreeBSD Security Information web page
<https://www.freebsd.org/security/>, security notifications are sent to:

   -

   FreeBSD-security-notifications@FreeBSD.org
   -

   FreeBSD-security@FreeBSD.org
   -

   FreeBSD-announce@FreeBSD.org

This policy has lately been ignored. No postings show up in the archives of
FreeBSD-security-notifications@FreeBSD.org since January. Likewise for
freebsd-announce. The only list showing the April 6 announcements is this
one, freebsd-security@freebad.org.

In the past, Security Announcements and Errata Notes have also been copied
to the stable and current lists as appropriate, although this is not
mentioned.  This delayed the update of my systems by several days.
Fortunately, only one of these vulnerabilities was relevant to my systems.

Even though the announcements are almost 2 weeks old, it is still likely
that some people are unaware of them, so I would strongly urge that they be
posted to, at least, FreeBSD-Announce and  FreeBSD-Stable lists.

In passing, I will note  that the same issue appears to be occurring with
posts of Errata Notices.
