Ah, thanks!

If you're interested, you could go through the more recent advisories
(the security/ directories in the site and in the private repository),
read the patches that fixed them, compute a CVSSv2 or CVSSv3 vector
based on that (only, without reading the in-advisory analysis), and then
compare the one you computed with the one in the advisory.

This way, when the next vulnerability is reported, you'd be better able
to help compute / review a CVSS vector for it.

Well, that depends on what the differences between CVSSv2 and CVSSv3
are.  I don't remember off the top of my head whether the semantics of
"Complete" (resp. "Partial") and "High" (resp. "Low") are equivalent.
