$ bin/gen-DLA
usage: bin/gen-DLA [--save] [--embargoed|--unembargo] [DLA] package
[regression] [cve(s) [bugnumber(s)]]
       'DLA' is the DLA number, required when issuing a revision
       'cve(s)' and 'bugnumber(s)' can be passed in any order but
         always AFTER the description
       If it doesn't like your bug number, prefix it with # and report

$ bin/gen-DLA 120-2 xserver-xorg regression
...

Perhaps that's enough?
