I have created 'Security Response' bug for the issue, that can be used
to record further details about the flaw, as well as CVE id once it's
assigned.

I do not see any point in creating tracking bugs once updates are
already submitted in Bodhi.  That tracking bugs process was developed
to be similar to process used internally by Red Hat for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, and it is not applied to Fedora when it makes little
sense.  In Fedora, you do not need per-version approved tracking bug to
do the update, and tracking bugs are sometimes viewed as too much
extraneous overhead for those not used to them (which is more than
understandable).

I also did some minor changes to your update requests.  One thing that
remains quite unclear with them is why libHX update is included in the
same update request.

Thank you!
