Got it, thanks!

Not sure if there's an official policy on this but IMHO they should be
easily accessible to reviewers / maintainers. If a frontier LLM can
generate an exploit for the problem based on the patch, hiding the
repro buys us nothing. And often the repro is useful during review.

For me an ideal submission would contain just a description of how the
bug was triggered in testing in the commit message, and a link to the
repro / PoC under the --- marker.
