[CH] Chillies in vinegar

I've been trying different ways of preserving my chillies, most recently trying in 
vinegar.  I've seen jars that other people have preserved which seem to have 
whole chillies in them.  However, whenever I put whole chillies (normally habs) 
in they tend to float at the top.

My question is twofold:

1. Will they eventually sink (I suppose the vinegar will soak through); and

2. If they don't, will this be a problem in terms of bacteria?

Do other members using this method normally prick holes in the chillies?

Thanks for your help,
Tony
