That is excellent advice on a subject that has come up before and
surely will again.  Perhaps it should be codified in the Committers'
Guide?

The only change I'll suggest is that the followup be sent to
cvs-committers and cvs-all instead of developers; more than just
those with CVS privileges follow the commit logs, and I'm sure all
will be interested in reading the commit logs and followup messages
so they can better judge their systems' vulnerability.
