We could use a very friendly user-facing form that they can fill out to
create a valid vuxml entry. And then the entry could create a github
pull request. It would be very easy then to accept or reject the
request, and accepted requests could be auto-committed to the ports tree
or wherever it needs to go so pkgaudit can pull it.

This would be leaps and bounds better than what we have. It would
simplify the process and permit crowdsourcing CVE reporting. 

Everybody wins.
