> a notification should have gone out from the kernel team to a curated list of distro security folk
Who would curate that list though? You don't need permission from the kernel team to spin up a new distro. I can go and create fork of Debian or Arch or whatever today and the kernel team would never know (and neither should they).
This is completely in the responsibility of the distros. If you don't like this model, use something like FreeBSD.
