In my opinion, this was a mistake, we should credit only reporters which
follow the established disclosure procedures.

If you found a vulnerability which is sufficiently significant, in your
opinion, to deserve credits and a CVE identifier, you should make at
least one attempt to report it privately first.  We do not want to keep
things secret, but the pain of CVE assignment *after* public disclosure
means that we currently need private vulnerability reports to arrange
for CVE assignment.
