What exactly do you mean with "right section"? Am a bit puzzled about
that.

It is due to the using of
#use wml::debian::recent_list
and the file english/template/debian/recent_list.wml in which this perl
function is coded out. Said that, you can implement near to everything
with some tricky perl code, like grepping through the DSAs and take
those that match 'security.*audit' or similar, though things that would
run longer like querying the BTS, if you are refering to the lists of
bugs and want to automatically extract their informations too, should be
not get done in a webwml run but in a seperate cronjob and then on the
webwml run only parse the data in a file written by the other job.

Definitely, but you will have to tweak the get_recent_list function.
Please be extremely careful with it, it's used very widely across the
site and people might get angry if you break it.
So long,
