Hmm, okay, I then misunderstood your earlier reply: I was assuming you
were looking for the CVE numbers associated with the XSA, as I thought
that's what you need to know when deciding whether to issue one
yourself. No, we didn't ever mention commit IDs anywhere, except when
issuing XSAs after-the-fact (i.e. changes already having gone in earlier
on). I guess we need to see whether that's feasible to do for Linux XSAs
going forward. Yet then it may not be needed there, as we'd now ask you
for CVE numbers in such cases anyway?
