Sorry about that, that was not intentional... My mistake.

Don't know. I'm not sure the fixed CVE's are even know to the security
team, but they're CVEs that were fixed by debian security team and
upstreamed (is there any kind of cooperation with other distros security
teams?). I've added the Security keyword to the bugs referenced in my
previous email. Not sure if that is enough?

Well, the problem is more long standing. To me webkitgtk looks
absolutely neglected on stable fedora releases (yes, I'm receiving the
bugzilla reports for webkitgtk and see no updates on them, as well as no
commits in cvs/git other then devel/f14). Long term.
