I think I read on IRC that the main thing is that the design of git is
not optimised for having large and growing files that change on every
commit. So splitting them up into to one file per CVE/DSA/DLA/etc
might help? Or switching from git to a database or something like
restic or borg.

Do you have any hints at us on what we could look at to faciliate/help
more salsa maintainers?

What is actually this old diff formater problem you mentioned which
going to be solved? Would it in the meantime help to make the access
only for logged in users/restricted?

The output might be a bit terse, but the above ids are known elsewhere,
check the references in the tracker. The second part indicates the status
of that id in the tracker at the moment the script was run.
