Not sure. From what I read they've successfully introduced a vulnerability in their first attempt. Would anyone have noticed if they didn't call more attention to their activities?

Can you point to this please? From my reading, it appears that their earlier patches were merged, but there is no mention of them being actual vulnerabilities. The lkml thread does mention they want to revert these patches, just in case.
From LKML
"A lot of these have already reached the stable trees. I can send you revert patches for stable by the end of today (if your scripts have not already done it)."

It's not saying that those are introduced bugs; IMHO they're just proactively reverting all commits from these people.
