Description
Right now the `nvd_override_candidates_from_cve5` script doesn't provide a nice way for multiple people to enrich data. It streams CVEs in a serial manner, outputting them in groupings of [MAX_BATCH_SIZE](https://github.com/anchore/vulnerability-data-tools/blob/main/nvd/scripts/nvd_override_candidates_from_cve5.py#L10)
We need a way that multiple people trying to work on this data don't trample on the work of each other
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with nvd/scripts/nvd_override_candidates_from_cve5.py, including the MAX_BATCH_SIZE grouping and its serial CVE streaming behavior. Define the parallel contributor workflow and its conflict boundaries before implementation. Done means multiple people can enrich the data without trampling each other's work.
