RE: Notice of Pilot Activity in CVE Auto WG - Supporting NVD's Participation

Mark,

Those attributes are optional - CNAs can elect to include them when 
they send us JSON.  MITRE will, though, include them when we sync the 
CVE List with the files in the repo.

I have created a pull request -- 
https://github.com/CVEProject/automation-working-group/pull/69 -- to 
add support for them in the schema for PUBLIC ids and invite someone 
else (eg, Kurt, Chris) to review and accept if they approve.

George

If "refsource" and "name" are now required fields could you update the 
schema to ensure they are present.

Cheers, Mark
