As I tried to highlight several times during early discussions, it's not
really ideal to have each of these trickle in over time.

DigiCert has apparently decided that for 14-15 customers it has sufficient
information to know that X is going to happen, based on their risk
analysis. Why are we seeing bugs trickle in, such as
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1516545 ?

It would seem uncontroversial to suggest that, as part of the risk analysis
that DigiCert is claiming has already been done, that it has all the
information for an incident report for all of the customers it expects to
not revoke certificates for. If it doesn't, then it suggests that the risk
analysis is not being done responsibly, and being outsourced to the
community to perform.

Should we expect another 12 bugs to be filed? If so, when? If not, why?

As mentioned, if treating this as part of a "Responding to underscores"
incident, then this has the effect of being a slow trickle of an incomplete
incident report overall, and incomplete remediation plan, and those tend
not to bode well. I don't think it'd really be engaging with mitigating to,
say, file a bug on Jan 14th - so how do we move the discussion forward and
make sure the facts are available?
