You cannot deny that telling the entire world about this vulnerability before it is patched won't cause a lot of abuse that would not have happened otherwise.

I do deny that, mostly because we’ve entered the time of automated vulnerability detection and abuse. A human need not be in the loop at all anymore.

But, even if I agreed with you, how do you propose they tell the patchers this that doesn’t tell the whole world?
