Tramp does something similar on GNU ELPA. It pushes bug fix releases
with a dedicated version. It happens monthly only, submissions to Tramp
happen less frequently.

However, it doesn't push the same bugfix release to the emacs-29 branch,
because not every bug fix is essential while Emeca is in pretest.

I haven't seen any CVE number in the announcement.
