Note that fuzzing can take a lot of time (days) before it finds bugs.
While most OSS-Fuzz projects don't do this, the integration for
Commons Compress could be configured so that it only fuzzes e.g. the
latest release candidate.

The infrastructure behind OSS-Fuzz, ClusterFuzz, automatically retests
new revisions and verifies that a particular bug has been fixed before
closing it. For more details, see:
