In #41 I wondered about the goal of the trophy case, but didn't get an answer.

The README doesn't clarify this either.

The point of the trophy case is just to showcase bugs found via fuzzing in Rust codebases. It serves multiple purposes:

  • People can see what are the common issues they can expect to find if they use one of the fuzzing tools;
    • And similarly for us to see what issues are common in Rust codebases (useful when e.g. designing APIs)
  • People can learn how to fuzz (i.e. what is a good target for fuzzing and what is not so good).
    It is definitely not a collection of security issues.

Thanks! It would help me, at least, if this context were provided in the top-level README.
