I have no problem noting that Mandriva is represented on this list.

I think that a mention on the oss-security wiki may not be bad, in an
"extra links" section or something. The people on the list could also
forward details internally. For instance, I may be on here representing
Mandriva but I largely deal with security-related stuff, so it would
probably be in both the list's and Mandriva's interest to have one or
two of the actual developers on board.

No, it sounds like there are a lot of lists now (vendor-sec,
oss-security, xvendor), but I don't think any of them are "clones" of
each other or in any way compete.
