XSS vulnerability when displaying commit message on contributors page

Hey Guys,

This is more of a bug report than a question. I discovered this bug when viewing my contribution to fez here:
https://www.ohloh.net/p/fez/contributors/149567941188482

Where there is a br tag in the commit message. Click on the purple dot, and the linked text is not sanitised - the br tag is interpreted as HTML.

I have tested this further with a script tag here (it's just an alert):
https://www.ohloh.net/p/ohlohxsstest/contributors/2507867911652492

Click on the purple dot indeed triggers an alert.

Cheers,
Brett
