Dear release managers,

today, I chose to fix RC bug #694998. It is a security issue with 
MediaWiki 1.19.2 currently in testing, and there are two ways of fixing 
this issue. The easiest would be to get the new upstream version 1.19.3 
into testing. I created the new package and a debdiff [2]. This diff is 
quite large because the update also incorporates tons of translation 
updates.

The other possibility is to backport the changes for the security fixes to 
1.19.2, which is also non-problematic. I prepared a debdiff for that as 
well [3].

The question is if the release team would grant a freeze exception for the 
new upstream version 1.19.3, maybe considering the translation changes 
non-critical?

Looking forward to your feedback,
Nik
