For this to work, recipe maintainers need to do this manual work 
consistently and reliably across all version updates, and I simply can't 
see it happening.

You should make the tooling work so that it looks at versions in 
addition to cve tags. So that this curl 7.54->7.56.1 commit resolves to 
the list of CVEs fixed in 7.56 automatically, via some database lookup.
