The SMW core developers are well aware of the guidelines at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_for_developers and bugs in third-party
extensions should not be mixed up with SMW. There is of course always a
possibility of human error, and more should be done to make the SMW code more
readable/reviewable.

The main tasks I see for this bug are:

* Organise independent code review by a developer who did not write SMW and
generate an first assessment of readability/security based on this. Volunteers
are welcome, but we will also proactively recruit some people to do this.
* Define which core features are actually required for the first SMW version to
run on mediawiki.org. SMW is very modular, and features can be removed to
reduce reviewing effort. I am not sure who to approach for this; maybe we
should develop a proposal.
* Improve readability of the SQL access code. It is currently the longest piece
of code (due to many similar but different ways of reading data of various
types), and I see that it will be hardest to review.

The current structure of SMW's code and the associated lines of code can be
seen at http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMW_source_code_structure
