Can the tracker fetch version information from the BTS?



Hi all!

DSA-1848-1 has been recently issued without a CVE number for the
vulnerability (because it has been requested, but not yet assigned):
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2009/msg00164.html

For this reason, the corresponding tracker page lacks any reference to
the vulnerability (this issue with the tracker has already been
discussed in the past: I really think it should be fixed as soon as
possible...):
http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/DSA-1848-1

As a consequence, the temporary issue name associated with the
corresponding BTS bug is shown as fixed in squeeze/sid, but not in
lenny (security) or etch (security):
http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/537977

I thought I could be smarter than the tracker and sent a message to the
control bot, marking the bug as fixed in the security-update versions:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=17;bug=537977

Almost one day has passed, and this new information still fails to show
up in  http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/537977

What's wrong?
I thought the tracker could fetch version information from the BTS,
when a vulnerability is associated with a BTS bug...
Was I too optimistic?   ;-)

I think this feature could be useful to have in the security tracker.
In the meanwhile, can someone update the tracker?

Thanks in advance.
