Bugzilla supports sending notifications when the milestone changes,
(it's in the preferences page), but I don't how to do that when
you're not the assignee/reporterd/cced to the bug.
What I do, is subscribe to the gdb-prs mailing list:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-prs/
so I get a message for _every_ change done on our bugzilla.
I follow this list like I follow gdb-patches@. I have a mail
filter that puts all gdb-prs traffic on its own mail/imap dir.
(Note one can reply to these bugzilla email via email too, which
is convenient at times.)
For example, I just now changed the milestone of PR build/20029
to 7.11.1, and that generated this mail:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-prs/2016-q2/msg00171.html
( and just using the bugzilla interface for that was quite
convenient. :-) )
Guess if one wanted, one could easily set up a mail filter
based on "List-id: gdb-prs" and the "Target Milestone" string
being present in the mail body.

At least I track bugzilla PRs. I had assumed all maintainers did.
I don't reply to all PRs, there's just not enough time
unfortunately, but at least I read all and have been trying to
make sure milestones are set.

Given that the entries in the wiki page are just the
PR title, I think that ends up being the same amount or even
less work. If a bug has an incomplete or inaccurate title,
we should just fix it on the bug directly, IMO.
