Use CVE-2016-7793 for the missing validation of <repourl>, and use
CVE-2016-7794 for the missing validation of <reponame>. Roughly
speaking, the proper constraints on <reponame> will be simpler than
the proper constraints on <repourl>. We do not feel it is sensible to
break this down further (e.g., what specific validation rules are
required by not yet implemented) because the validation strategy is
still being discussed in 197.
