Agreed, to be avoided. Can't we simply not add CC to the bugs that are
under an embargo? Or is there no simple way to tell?

Absolutely. 

At the same time, bugs that are public already I think it's good to see
progress on the list/in bugzilla. We may spot cases where maintainers
need help, want more info, or otherwise could use input from the
security list. 

Just my 2cents tho... if it's decided not to CC the list thats fine
too.
