"Vulnerability handling" is a term frequently used to signify the process of resolving the vulnerability, while the disclosure is another process. This document covers both, so we prefer to use the general term "vulnerability management" in the general case.

100% agree - Vulnerability Management covers both vulnerability handling, i.e. coordinated vulnerability disclosure processing by a vendor and vulnerability disclosure reporting from a vendor to a consumer of a confirmed vulnerability..
