FWIW, with our new security triage process, we should be fairly
reliably getting issues in gitlab tagged with CVE::Assigned, if
they have been accepted as an in-scope security issue and had a
CVE assigned.

Those issues should include a link to the mailing list with posted
patches, and also get auto-linked to a merged commit by gitlab.

So if you want to sanity check stable branch content for missing
security fixes, I'd sugest following the CVE::Assigned labels.

With regards,
Daniel
