For relation between severity level and GLSA publication see Dispatch.

Basically everything that ends up with Trivial severity level will NOT get a 
GLSA and everything that ends up with Minor severity level will get a vote 
from the Security team members. Two yes or no votes normally wins. Everything 
else gets a GLSA.

Then you have to add in Security supported architectures, but that's really of 
no concern to x86.
