The short summary of if it has been worth the hassle: yeah I think so. It is now easy and fast to get new CVE IDs. We have a seat at a table where I can complain loudly on the system and what I say actually might have a (small) impact.

We have yet to deny someone else's crazy CVE attempts against curl.

@oneiros Twelve. Eleven of them are public, there is one still pending publication. See https://curl.se/docs/security.html

It is an added bonus that the Linux kernel with @gregkh at the wheel also became a CNA around the same time, as they are pushing for good things in the ecosystem and do it at such a much bigger volume and scale than we do. And it's fun to sit next to this and learn.

@bagder are there any good resources for learning what actually qualifies as a CVE for the curl project? And the best way to write up a report about it
