In the case of at least one (IIRC) of the go-oo issues I think it was
already addressed by a CVE that was assigned to oo.o only. The amsn issue
is rather old and has probably been already fixed.

For those reasons I hesitated to file bug reports. Maybe we should bring
this up again and try to reach a concensus on whether we should try to
involve maintainers the most (without falling on the "the maintainer is
handling it so we have nothing to do" side).

Btw, it might be time to send a "bits from the sec and testing sec
teams"
email.
