I don't understand the disappointment expressed here in the maintainers deciding to WONTFIX these security bugs.

Isn't this what ffmpeg did recently? They seemed to get a ton of community support in their decision not to fix a vulnerability

ffmpeg doesn't have a cargo-cult of self-proclaimed "privacy experts" that tell activists and whistleblowers to use their thing instead of other tools cryptographers actually recommend.
