Description
### Current Behavior
DependencyTrack is configured to use multiple sources for vulnerability information; one of which is OSSI.
If access to OSSI fails for whatever reason (e.g. rate limit - but also like https://github.com/DependencyTrack/dependency-track/issues/2857), no sonatype-* vulnerabilities are reported for that project.
In this case, you can have to projects with identical components - but a complete different list of vulnerabilities.
Apparently there is no way for a user to detect if vulnerability matching was complete/successful for all sources.
### Proposed Behavior
Add a status field to the project properties where it is visible whether errors were encountered during vulnerability matching.
This allows the user to actually trust the list of vulnerabilities - and know where they might be incomplete.
