Some requests are delayed because of complexity in deciding how
vulnerability information can be best represented in CVE. If there is a
vulnerability-research category, aspect, or approach that we feel may have
unexpected concerns that are specific to CVE, we prefer to resolve that
within our team, rather than follow a piecemeal approach to the related
individual requests. Accordingly, we do not designate a timeline that
applies globally to every request. If anyone needs additional confirmation
that a request has indeed been received and read, and that we are aware of
it remaining unanswered, sending directly to the cve-assign@...re.org
address is the best option.
