Hrm... Have you read through the doc?

security-bugs.html which you've linked contains information about the
CVE process and answers your question:

	CVE assignment

	The security team does not assign CVEs, nor do we require them
	for reports or fixes, as this can needlessly complicate the
	process and may delay the bug handling. If a reporter wishes to
	have a CVE identifier assigned for a confirmed issue, they can
	contact the kernel CVE assignment[1] team to obtain one.
