QID 982804: Python (pip) Security Update for sopel-plugins.channelmgnt (GHSA-23c7-6444-399m)

Security update has been released for sopel-plugins.channelmgnt to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

On some IRC servers, restrictions around the removal of the bot using the kick/kickban command could be bypassed when kicking multiple users at once.
We also believe it may have been possible to remove users from other channels but due to the wonder that is IRC and following RfCs, We have no POC for that.

Freenode is not affected.
