Sorry, I seem to have missed this email.

I can see security at groups.mageia.org can be set as bug assignee in
bugzilla now, so the discussion is null at this point.

About the "better explanation", the benefits of having one generic
email address set as assignee in security-related bug reports, just
one point, not having one point of failure, if the only person in the
sec team becomes unavailable for a prolonged period of time for any
reason, someone will have to trudge through the bug reports assigned
to him to change the assignee field, whereas if a generic email
address is used that won't be necessary.
