The mailing list does look like a treasure trove,<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lore.kernel.org&#x2F;linux-cve-announce&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lore.kernel.org&#x2F;linux-cve-announce&#x2F;</a><p>Hundreds of disclosures just in the last month alone.

Title should be <i>How</i> kernel CVE numbers are assigned.
