Since security vulnerability alerts are already created and processed manually (e.g., every Dependabot alert is triggered by some Github employee who imported the right data into their system and clicked "send" on it), adding an extra step to create the right rules doesn't seem impossibly resource intensive. Certainly much more time is spent "manually" processing even easier-to-automate things in other parts of the economy, like payments reconciliation (https://keshikomisimulator.com/)

That's 100% coverage which is ideal but will take time to get to.
