Description

I'm wondering it would be very beneficial to expand the "pre-build" phase in [0x20-Lifecycle_Phases.md](https://github.com/CycloneDX/guides/blob/main/SBOM/en/0x20-Lifecycle_Phases.md).

I imagine this phase implies quite a few important steps involved in the final assembly of an SBOM, including authoritative information about components acquired from a supplier up-stream, that may be

* …**updated unilaterally by the component author**.
* Author name
* Author email
* Component unique name
* Component version/release
* Project name
* Project repository
* Project contact information
* Project license
* Project issue/bug tracker URL
* List of know vulnerabilities this release has addressed
* etc..
* …**updated unilaterally by the software distribution service** (e.g. a native package source, like Debian's APT repositories, or FreeBSD's ports system)
* Package download URL
* Packager's name
* Packager's email
* Packager's security advisory URL
* List of patches/changes applied by the packager
* etc…
