I either compile ImageMagick from source or use the pre-built package 
for OS X that is available on the ImageMagick website.  I don't have a 
vendor that issues updated packages for my OS.  Do the ImageMagick 
developers have a mechanism for announcing security vulnerabilities to 
people who build the package from source?  As best I can tell, in order 
to receive news about ImageMagick security problems, I have to subscribe 
to the security announcement list of a Linux distribution I don't even 
use.  Am I missing something?
