As much as I am concerned. Security is not a concern in most open source projects.
But, for one reason the other, they might give credit to a vulnerability they find interesting.

We're talking specifically about the Linux kernel. Do you have any reason to say that they don't think that security is a concern?
Because open source Linux is a fad and Linus needs to beaten in the toes with a small stick.
Very childish
The linux kernel maintainers tend to go a little against the grain in terms of approach to security. Primarily they tend to resist the categorisation and ranking of bugs by security impact, instead insisting that more or less all bugs are equal and you should just update to the latest version regularly if you want to remain secure.
