I didn't do it right away, obviously.  I made sure the package that
owned the files was fine (reinstalling from upstream, checking GPG and
RPM verification) and then went to look for others who had had the
problem.

I actually spoke on IRC with the author of the software too, who said
it has happened in the past.  (I have met him a couple times at
conferences and collaborated with him on patches, so I believe him.)

I agree that it is bad practice to just whitelist issues without
research.  In this case, I saw enough evidence that it was a false
positive that I felt ok with whitelisting it.
