We're fairly ghetto, but OSVDB does a *lot* of source monitoring by hand.

: ("overflow", "XSS", etc).

Steve Christey has contributed heavily to mine, but I have a parsing
script that I throw at any changelog to pull out interesting keywords.
I've been using this for over 5 years now, and it is the source of a LOT
of OSVDB entries that range in severity from 'unknown' to CVSS 7+, a
majority of which do not have CVE identifiers.
