Any updates on this?

The Debian release and security team have stated that they are
concerned about the state on MySQL in Debian. It would very much help
to champion MariaDB in this context if I could show that upstream
MariaDB is responsive and has started to maintain CVE identifiers in
their release documentation...

Maybe you can just open a wiki page and copy the CVE identifiers and
security release info from my changelog file
(http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-5.5.git/tree/debian/changelog)
to the wiki page as a quick fix for the current situation? And the
remember to expand the page while preparing the next releases?
