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.
