- how can users and customers check if a given CVE is fixed or which CVE have been fixed in a given version of Qt
    - a good way would be to use JIRA since most CVE cases are listed there. A filter that provides a report can be exported
- We need to create a software BOM for Qt, ideally, in a machine-readable format
- With this list, we could use specialized scanners to search and alert about CVE-related changes
- Black Duck does not seem a good tool for this. It does not provide sufficiently reliable results
- we should reduce the chances that we introduce something that can become a security issue. Does the Security Review help here
- How to draw a border where the API user starts to be reponsible to harded an implmentation on top of Qt


==Notes==
Action points:
- make sure to have all maintainers on the security list
- update sec. relevant changes in 3rd parties in docs
- try to create such a JIRA filter and see how its report looks like
- check the project https://snyk.io/
- central page to copy and page relevant CVE emails
- Qt Security Overview page
- It was mentioned in the main talk: we need to disable approver accounts which are not in use for a given (long) time
