I've been meaning to document those vulnerability severity ratings,
but so far there're only some past owl-users postings which should
give you an idea:

Actually, there's only one mailing list mentioned on the web page and
it's owl-users.  The other e-mail addresses mentioned are not mailing
lists.  You may browse owl-users archive on MARC:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=owl-users

We do have more mailing lists, but those are internal to the project.

It depends on what else you're looking for.
