This is tricky though for any patch that is forward-ported to a release branch (a la 3.2->3.3). How can you tell from MISC/News in which release (e.g. 3.3.0 or 3.3.1) of that branch the bug was fixed? The entry would only show up in MISC/News for the previous release (e.g. 3.2.3).
Granted, this would impact much fewer patches than our current pain point does.
