It could be interesting maybe to have the vulnerability database published as json or yaml. And maybe suggest distributions to publish their advisories in the same format so that import can be more automated.

With such a database someone could create tools to do things like sending an email for each advisory for a software he has installed on his computer, or for software available in his custom packages repository.
