Yes, because "responsible" goes both ways. They're being responsible by notifying the vendor before going public. If the vendor is not fixing the issue, it's time to go public.

As far as I'm concerned a public release is still a responsible one. At least in that case everyone knows about it.

Irresponsible is selling unknown vulnerabilities to private parties that will use them for their own gain. The vendor's customer's get screwed and the vendor has no idea that it's even happening.
