How many of you have received this notice via an official security advisory channel you're monitoring/acting on? If so, which advisory service do you use and how you configure it? Learning about HN is useful, but far from a reliable solution.

I am subsribed to their Github releases and when I saw a release for every old version I knew what's up :-)
Yeah I do the same for projects I use. I also received an email but don't remember if I also signed up to their newsletters or something like that.
Saw it on HN.
It is definitely not announced on Full Disclosure nor on oss-security mailing lists.

From their blog.

Oh absolutely, but its trivial to get a CVE from the relevant CNA's. A webform or a phone call.

Its a bit silly.

Don't you have to share more details about the exploit then? That seems to be the thing they're trying to avoid for now.
Negative, you can request a CVE without specific details, CNA's do this all the time until unembargo.
I got an email directly from Metabase.
