Yes I can do that, but it sounds like a misusage of dla-needed to me.  Does it
make sense to have a dla-needed entry for imagemagick if we don't intend to
release any DLA for these issues (yet)?

I have done some more triage. However please note that these issues pop up in
lts-cve-triage because they are still open in stretch. The security team is
currently working on imagemagick, so this should be fixed in the next weeks.
