Just do clarify: Issues 1 through 7.1 (8 issues) were released with the
current version that has been out for quite some time now. These require a
CVE. Issues 8 through 14 are ones introduced only during development and
were not released, and do not need a CVE.

All,

I haven't followed the Calibre saga too closely, barring glancing through
the bug report comments.

If bugs are introduced into a development version but also fixed within
that same version, then unless there's some strong evidence that the dev
version is extensively used or distributed to the public, then (in general)
it would not get a CVE.  (The Linux kernel is a special case depending on
what versions you consider to be "development.")
