Given that Fedora relies upon Red Hat servers for these things, it's not completely a community issue - in fact, it's clear that Red Hat has their own interests which trump Fedora's interests. Of course the Fedora Project board members are the first line of thought/responsibility for Fedora Project interests and there is a symbiotic relationship with Red Hat. I suppose you can drive the debate as long or as far as you wish but as someone who once had some boxes compromised (a long time ago before I fully understood firewalls), there's a lot of things to deal with and informing clients - especially when the full extent is unknown is not a terribly attractive prospect and definitely lower on the priority scale than auditing the problem and obviously fixing the problem.
