2996: Reports page should escape [ and ] characters

What version are you running?

1.6.13

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

https://reviewboard.eng.vmware.com/reports/<my_username>/review/moinmoin/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have someone post to you a review containing [] in the title
2. Open the MoinMoin reviewboard reports page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the [ and ] characters in the title to be escaped so they don't prematurely end the link formatting.  Instead, I see something like:

== Code Reviews Done ==
. [https://<review_link> [blah]blahblahblah by somedude]

which doesn't work very well in the wiki.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Chrome 28 on Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.

This reports functionality is gone in new versions. We'll be replacing it with a commercial extension in the future, but for now, we won't be making any changes to the old implementation.
