We do occasionally put CVE numbers in the commit message, but normally
the commit comes first before we ask for a CVE number.

If you want a list of kernel CVEs then you can use the Ubuntu list:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cve-tracker
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/main.html
It has the commit which introduced the bug and commit which fixes the
bug.  Suse has a public CVE list as well.

You are right that probably some security commits don't get a CVE.  When
you spot one then feel free to ask for a CVE from the
oss-security@...ts.openwall.com email list.
