Package: tracker.debian.org

Hello,

While viewing the tracker page for package asterisk, I saw that there are open
security issues for bookworm and trixie in the tracker action needed panel, but
all links in the action item list lead to security-tracker.debian.org pages
which do not mention either codename.

These security issues were addressed in bug #1032092 and bug #1059303, so my
expectation is that these action items are removed.

When I feed the current UpdateSecurityIssuesTask.DISTRIBUTIONS_URL json and the
UpdateSecurityIssuesTask.CVE_DATA_URL (trimmed down to asterisk only) into a
modified UpdateSecurityIssuesTaskTests module it produces summary of all zeroes.
This leads me to believe it's an ActionItem caching issue.

After some investigation, I think ActionItems can get stuck / stale.

Here's my theory for the bookworm action items:

2023-01-16: Package in bookworm
2023-02-27: #1032092 opens (3 CVEs)
----------: 3 ActionItems added "debian-security-issue-in-bookworm"
2023-03-28: Package removed from bookworm
2023-12-19: #1032092 is closed
----------: 3 ActionItems is not cleaned up

I'm not sure how the trixie action item got there, but I believe it is also
stale. Bug #1059303 was open from 2023-12-22 to 2024-06-07 and had 2 CVEs.
Asterisk was in only unstable for all that time as far as I can tell. The action
item was created on 2023-10-22 and was last updated the same day.

Thanks,

Martin
