Somebody has to say this so I guess I'll take the hit: part of the cost of an unsanctioned fork of a large project is that you're not going to be in the embargo list. Even with a large base of developers and users, the mechanics of a community-driven open source project can make people gun-shy about pre-disclosing.
Over the long term, increasing prominence of your project will probably get you most disclosures directly, because vulnerability researchers are incentivized to confirm big targets for findings. But in the short term, I don't think this complaint about HashiCorp is based in any real norm of vulnerability disclosure.
