Can't we just keep an eye on https://security.archlinux.org/ and https://security.gentoo.org/ ?

That is all that is needed. Since the PKGBUILD files come from upstream arch, all security patches are already applied. Not to mention that as a rolling release distro the newest versions of the packages already have security fixes included in general.

It would be a waste of time and effort to start tracking these things since upstream is already doing it for us.
