Well, the devil is in the details. And most open-source projects are lacking in that regard. You have to find a better way to make people read someone else's design over and over for fun and for free than just some karma points on a website.
And when the idea doesn't pick up, you have to find a better way to motivate people than by bashing the bugtraq mentality, Mr.Cowan.
People are interested in big bugs because they hurt the most. And when a bug is found and fixed, it's a definite improvement. Some piece of code reviewed and found OK by a bunch of people is not "definitely" more secure (albeit it's a good thing). So don't be surprised by people's reaction.
