Hi, Daniel!

It turns out, we have a task for that:
https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4105

Bryan suggested to have a macro in KB, we'll tag CVE entries in the
release notes with it, and they'll be automatically collected to a
sepatare CVE page. So I understood. Let's try to have it asap, then I'll
prepare a list of CVEs.

Regards,
Sergei
