Comment (by oliversild):

 I think the right approach to this issue was described in more detail
 here: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6939

 "Contributors who have been involved with the project long enough know
 that they should email plugins@… to report vulnerabilities." - That is not
 entirely true. In fact, we've (Patchstack) been asked by Plugin Team to
 try not to send all vulnerabilities to the plugins team and instead report
 them to plugin developers directly.

 Sending vulnerability reports to the plugins team should only be a
 fallback option. When submitting a plugin to the WP.org repo, plugin
 developer should have a requirement to add a link to their vulnerability
 disclosure policy or to security contact form.
