Description
While most advisories are automatically generated, occasionally they will be hand-written (e.g. https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/pull/72/).
It would be nice to add a tool (even if it's just a bash script) that can generate a template file and choose the latest PYSEC ID number, set timestamps, etc for instances when these need to be done by hand.

Research direction
Review existing PYSEC advisory files and the repository's current automatic-generation process to identify the required template fields, timestamp format, and next advisory ID. Done means a hand-written advisory can be initialized consistently with those values and the issue's requested generation workflow is documented or runnable.
