Dries and I implemented some DrupalCon ideas regarding the contact page. Drupal.org's contact page has been revamped so anyone can contact the team regarding various subjects. The form is simple to use: fill in your name and e-mail address, select a subject, and type in the message. You do not need to specify recipients, the system routes the messages to the appropriate people based on the selected subject. We just rolled out the new contact form but plan to add more subjects.

The contact form outlined above is not a Drupal.org-only solution, it's already in the developer version of Drupal.

One of the available subjects is "security issue". Although we strongly believe that Drupal is secure (we have not had any critical security problems so far, see all of them here) to conform the concerns of the exponentially expanding number of Drupal users, we established a security team under the lead of Károly Négyesi (chx) to respond to security reports.

Are you looking for volunteers for any of the subjects?

Nice way to make major useability gains in an uncomplicated manner.

You can count me in, too, for the Security Team. I'm interested in getting and/or keeping Drupal as secure as possible.

It moves the functionality for my feedback module to the core of Drupal.

It also adds a wish list feature (route email to multiple recipients from a drop down list) that has been on feedback's to do list for a long time.

It means that by the time 4.7 (or will it be 5.0?) is released, feedback will become redundant/obsolete.

Creating a contact form is a common thing to do. According to one of my usability books, it is also very important to do. Therefore, it should make for a popular core feature indeed. Thanks.
