I see the point. I think it would be an achievement over the current situation 
(which is: no current GLSAs at all) to send out less detailed GLSAs. Even 
something short as: "$PACKAGE has vulnerabilities, they are fixed in $VERSION, 
for details see $CVE" would be immensely helpful.

Is the any viable way to get it at least to this point? Probably the largest 
part of such a task could be automated. This would lift the burden from the 
security maintainers.

Regards

Christian
