That line is three years old, so how is this news now? And what's this "i wonder," do we not know how to use git here?

I guess it's new that it was discovered, nobody seems to have noticed while it's a major issue for a privacy tool.

Security vulnerabilities commonly are discovered after a product releases... sometimes many years later.
