I don't.

I can prepare a new upload with these fixes and call it CVE-2013-0900.
There's a one-line fix for a Malayalam rendering problem (which causes a
crash on certain codes and is therefore a potential DOS attack) which I
will probably include in the same upload.  Ordinarily I would not fix
two issues in the same upload, particularly during a freeze, but the
extreme simplicity of the second one makes me think this will be okay in
this case.
