this is a good question. what triggers generation of these pages? i
noticed that the DSAs that i just added did not get tracker pages
automatically (for example,

CVE descriptions are pulled in automatically from the mitre database.
there can be a delay between disclosure and when they do their updates,
which causes issues such as seen here. regardless, this can be updated
manually, and i will do so.
