I've done a lot of small projects on the side lately where the client wants a good chunk of the website to stay the same, they just want to be able to edit particular "areas" of the site.

CMS with strict Code Review for Add-Ons?

Some popular CMSs have a huge number of add-ons and try to fix every security problem as quickly as possible, without hiding. They end up with a lot of security announcements.
