I've gotten many such reports for GNU tar, m4, Emacs, etc., and I 
haven't bothered with embargoes or coordinating with CERT. The bug 
reports were so low-severity (or incorrect) that it wasn't worth the 
hassle. Some bug-reporters themselves coordinated with CERT which of 
course was fine.

For the Hurd I suspect most bug reports would be in the same category.
