You're right, but what about the nobodies that haven't built up a personal trophy case of exploitable bugs? vulnarb.com may be solving a problem that doesn't exist for people that are already at the top of the vulnerability researcher club, but as with any group of people, there are hundreds if not thousands of people that aren't known and don't care to be the "l33t" ones giving conference talks and swapping private keys with Schneier and Knuth.
This could be a gateway for those people, college students and unknown hackers from non-first world countries (the alleged comodo hacker types for instance), to responsibly and legitimately get into the field. If marketed right, vulnarb.com could be a perfect way to post these notices, without getting trolled to oblivion on F-D.
