Proposal: add new severity[].source field #248

Proposal to add a new optional string field on a severity entry that represents "who" scored or where that scoring came from.

Different entities score vulnerabilities differently and sometimes there are different sources that don't agree on scoring for the same vulnerability, this would allow the schema to support both instead of having to make a decision on which one is best.

Hi,

So sorry for missing this issue earlier!

As OSV is a distributed database, where database owners publish their own vulnerability records, the implication is that all values in that record (including severity values) come from the database itself.

For example, if a GHSA advisory has a severity field, then the implication is that this severity comes from GitHub (or at least, GitHub endorses the severity if it came from somewhere else).
