Ok, then.

I find the "users" list on fedoraproject challenging.

The stated vulnerability is a known bug in alpine, and it has been there 
for a long time. Many lists have complaints about it, but it doesn't seem 
to get the attention of the developers/maintainers.

Likewise, ours are set to 775, inboxes set to 600 (that way dovecot 
doesn't complain).
