Hi,

When requesting a CVE for a repository security advisory, the UI says it "may take up to 3 working days".

In practice, the turnaround is currently around three weeks. Could the wording be updated to match? The current wording is misleading if maintainers plan their disclosure timelines around it.

Thanks,
Nicolas

agree, especially since maintainers may coordinate disclosure dates around the estimate. instead of replacing "3 working days" with another fixed number, github might show the current estimated processing time dynamically, or use wording like "processing times vary based on request volume." that would stay accurate when the backlog changes.
