I like the general idea of improving communication / transparency. Perhaps some branch of the government could provide a registry for responsible disclosure (e.g., `https://some-branch.gov/responsible-disclosure https://some-branch.gov/responsible-disclosure`). As a security researcher, you could notify the government of your intent to disclose as a demonstration of due diligence and good faith. The registry/site could return a case/reference number that could be included with the disclosure to the manufacturer. In addition to discouraging an attitude of defensive reprisal, it might also prevail a greater sense of urgency upon the manufacturer to follow through with remediations.
