This "bureaucracy" is needed so you can tell *why* you're pushing the
update. At the very least "upstream bugfix release, changelog here: [URL]".
But often you want to give a more precise reason, also referencing Bugzilla
IDs.

Now some maintainers don't do this, but that's their fault, not Bodhi's.
