Yes...being a MOTU/Core-dev means you are more trusted then someone
else. So having a MOTU or core-dev preparing a security bugfix this
bugfix can be more trusted then from someone we don't know.
Actually, I do like a "broken security update" more from a known dev,
then from an unknown (unkown to my gpg keyring and unknown to me).

Could just be me.
