If you quietly patch the vulnerable software it's unlikely that I will ever hear about the vulnerability. CVE disclosure is important because that's how I learn of security problems in software I critically depend on. It's not merely a service to the maintainers, but to the users who might otherwise critically depend on vulnerable software.
