Jdlrobson set Security to None.

Could this be a Google Code-in task that someone (who?) would be willing to mentor?

If there is a shortage of GCI tasks, I'd rather help find them new tasks which make a difference and aren't just housekeeping.

@Jdlrobson Did Web do this task? Is it actually a tracking task? Just calculating velocity, points, etc. If Web did it, it needs points. :)

We reviewed work by @Mholloway. Arguably you could add 0.5 on it but it wasn't much work at all.
