It doesn't mean any of those things, Anatoly.  Security issues are a separate 
concern.  Even if it takes ten minutes to implement the links and two to check 
them during an upgrade, that's still an unjustified maintenance burden for the 
level of traffic this tracker gets.  Now, if you want to organize a team 
working on tracker maintenance, that situation might change.  Right now, we 
just have Ezio working via GSoC (thank you Ezio!), and Martin and I when we 
decide to devote some of our scarce time to it.  If Ezio, who is and has done 
the bulk of the work on issues in this metatracker, doesn't think it is worth 
it, then it shouldn't be done.

Alternatively you could get actively engaged, learn the source, and start 
proposing patches, this one among them.  And/or, given your words, do the same 
upstream.

Speaking of scarce time, why did I devote some of my scarce time to answering 
this post?  Oh, well, the time has already been spent, I might as well post it.
