Hi Debian Security and LTS teams

I have written a tool that checks the CVE database for conditions where
triaging consideration(s) should be re-considered.

The two caes I have in the tool so far are:
- Fixed in previous release but no-dsa, postponed or ignored in current
release.
- Postponed in previous and next release, but no-dsa in current.

It is easy to extend the tool with more cases.

You can find the tool here:
https://salsa.debian.org/security-tracker-team/security-tracker/-/merge_requests/193

The default release to check is the LTS release but you can provide the
release name as an option to the tool and it will then check for that
instead. The reason for this is that the primary use is for LTS triaging,
but I wrote this tool to be useful also for the stable release triaging
work as well.

There are no checks for whether previous and next release works so you can
not really use it to check "sid" and "potato". I guess it is not the most
important use-case so I have skipped that.

The output is identical to lts-cve-triage.py and the proposal is to call it
from lts-cve-triage.py as well. I have made an option to allow this step to
be excluded.

More information available in:
https://salsa.debian.org/security-tracker-team/security-tracker/-/issues/31
and
https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/lts-extra-tasks/-/issues/69

Comments are welcome.

Cheers
