How will you ensure the other people who were exploiting the hole have deleted their copies?

What a weird way to think about this.

Is it? if 10 people may have committed a crime, should we exonerate 1 of them because he reported it and promises he didnt do anything?

That depends on provable intent,

and your societal goals for ensuring the next exploit is reported, not ignored or shared online.
