 * A description of what you want to change
   * I'm asking for this package to be tagged for F11 final, because it
 includes two security patches.
  * Rationale for why the change is important enough to be allowed in after
 the final freeze.
   * When doing a sort-of audit of security patches for the moin version in
 F9 and F10 I noticed the fix for http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-
 bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0781 was missing from moin 1.6 and newer.
 After having reported this to upstream, they released two security patches
 to fix the vulnerability again. The patches are listed at
 http://moinmo.in/SecurityFixes#moin1.8.2 and included in this new package.
  * Impact of *not* accepting the development at this point of the
 schedule.
   * The original CVE report says 'Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS)
 vulnerabilities in action/AttachFile.py allow remote attackers to inject
 arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) message, (2) pagename, and (3) target
 filenames.'
  * Information on what testing you've already done on the development to
 help reduce the risk.
   * I've done some basic testing of the patched AttachFile action myself.
 These patches are from upstream, so the moin developers have done some
 testing as well.
