Comment:

 In [changeset:"43245" 43245]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43245"
 Privacy: Escape comment URLs in personal export file to prevent XSS.

 There doesn't appear to be any way for an attacker to introduce malicious
 input into the URL, unless a plugin is filtering the URL to add it, but
 it's better to be safe than sorry.

 Props birgire.
 Fixes #44054.
