Hash out a solution for ChangeLog/NEWS at the Cauldron?

Would using Bugzilla to keep track of which release each bug was
fixed in be a appealing solution? It would make it easier to find
them and generate useful reports for each release. Such reports
are often helpful when deciding which release to adopt. The NEWS
file could also be generated from such a report just before each
release.
