There is a web link to the bugzilla stuff, but it isn't as useful as
a clear, detailed email would be since the subject line is often
inaccurate, etc.

Sometimes it does indeed.  Some of the bugzilla subjects only mention e.g.
RH 7.3, but then the entry also addresses RH 8.0, but how to know that
without reading each entry in full?  That makes things difficult...
