Some thoughts:

What's the difference between "Issue Date" and "Updated on"? If another
update becomes nescessary it should get a new Bugzilla entry.

Cross references should also include links to the upstream, CVE, CERT,
Bugtraq, Full-Disclosure, ... announcements

If a service like sshd or httpd gets an update and the post-install
scripts don't restart the service automatically a note should be added
how to restart the service manually.

The MD5SUMS and file sizes of the rpms HAVE TO BE listed.

The rpm changelog should be listed.

Best regards.
