I think what Moritz means is the following.

Missing DSA's will be committed in due time - normally they are commited after 
someone releases them but this sometimes doesn't happen, however, then the 
next one committing one will notice the previous missing ones and they will 
be added at the same time.

Moritz'es point is that if you spend time on sending the mails and us on 
processing them, whatever the good intentions may be, we're not gaining that 
much from it because in total more time is spent. This is different from 
actually adding real new information btw, like typos in CVE ids or more 
information about vulnerabilities.

If you would however commit them yourself, then that would actually save us 
time which we can spend on other issues.

So to get you started with subversion:

You do a checkout once like this:

svn checkout svn://svn.debian.org/svn/secure-testing

To update to the latest version do this:

svn update

To see which local changes you made:

svn diff

To send those changes to the repository:

svn commit  [filenames]


Good luck!
