Submitted by applies to people, but Obtained from implies that the work to 
obtain it was done by FreeBSD's committers, therefore I'd say the correct 
thing in this case would be:

Obtained from: Bugtraq (recidjvo <recidjvo@pkcrew.org>)

This makes it clear that the report was gotten from a public source but not 
sent in.

Can we make this the accepted form for situations like this, if there are 
no strong objects?  I say strong because I don't want to help create a 
bikeshed problem...
