> if they wanted to properly triage and annotate vulnerabilities, and provide reasonable assessments of what is or isn't likely to be a security risk, they absolutely could.

I'll challenge this, I don't think that's really possible, at least not to any high degree of confidence. Nobody can realistically evaluate if any particular out-of-bounds read/write or use-after-free is "safe", and if you're going to consider all of those as security risks then there's not really a point in trying to filter out the few bug fixes that might not lead to those things.

Try going to the linked page, pick any random CVE, and read it. I've checked a bunch and I'd say _at least_ 8/10 of them are variations on those two things.
