Yes, please. I appreciate the fact that there's people who monitor security issues and file bugs for them, but the reporting tools they use are very broken. The last example I have is for a CVE (from 2020) in versions 0.1.x the "time" Rust crate, where bugs were filed a month ago, for the following packages: - the correct bug for rust-time0.1: RHBZ#2119559 - bug for rust-timebomb (completely unrelated package): RHBZ#2119560 - bug for rust-time-macros0.1 (wrong package): RHBZ#2119561 - bug for rust-time-macros-impl (wrong package): RHBZ#2119562 Things like that result in lots of, basically spam, emails, because 3/4 opened bugs were filed for unrelated / wrong packages. It looks like the tooling they use does "prefix match" for component names, which is in many cases just *wrong*. This might also be the reason why dozens of bugs were opened for some golang CVEs. > Another time, their automation posted the exact same comment over 200 times. Yup, I remember that, I was at the receiving end of this spam barrage, as well (for whatever reason I am getting CCd for all golang CVE bugs even though I am not maintainer of golang *or* member of the go-sig). As far as I remember, the tooling was broken because bugzilla queries for that specific bug timed out because it had so many comments / metadata / CC'd persons etc., and so it continued submitting the same comment over and over (making things worse and worse, of course).
