Looks good to me. Diffs with 2.3 tar.gz's show very few things
changed, and ones you'd expect to be changed.

Has there already been a vote to release 2.3.1?

Henri,

I've created and signed a new release of Roller 3.2 with 1) fixes for
the comment XSS problem and 2) no BCL jars. I updated the change list
and install docs accordingly. Please give it a quick test so we can
replace the existing 2.3  release with this new one.

Here are the release files:
http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-2.3.1/

And ere's what I added the CHANGES.txt doc:

Roller 2.3.1: minor release to fix security risk form and licensing issue

*** Security risk in comment form

Allowing commenters to leave HTML in comments is a potential security
risk because it allows commenters can add malicious Javascipt code.
You can disable HTML in comments via the Roller admin interface, but
in Roller 2.3 and earlier versions of Roller, attackers could still
add malicious HTML to the name, email and URL fields.

We fixed the problem in Roller 2.3.1 and all subsequent versions of
Roller by stripping all HTML from name, email and comment fields at
comment post time.

*** Licensing issue with JavaMail and Activation jars

The JavaMail and Activation jars (mail.jar and activation.jar)
included in Roller 2.3 were licensed under Sun's Binary Code License,
which is incompatible with Apache licensing policy. So these jars have
been removed from the release and instructions have been added to the
Installation Guide that explain how to get them and add them to
Roller.
