My understanding was that this part of the discussion was about
listing *all* bugs fixed in a said release (since the former one) or
only some of them.


What I find helpful is having such a list of all Bugzilla bugs fixed
by X.Y.Z release sicne X.Y.Z-1. Only bug numbers is enough,
indeed. And details could be given for those that are "important"
enough (which is the biggest part of the work, I guess as one needs to
cook up a summary for each).

If release notes *already* do that, then fine and I don't need
anything more.

And, yes, cumulative release notes are also very helpful
(particularly, indeed, if they list all fixed bugs, including minor
ones).

Shortly said, I haven't checked if listing all fixed bugs between two
releases is what you're doing right now, Karolin (I know you're doing
cumulative RN) or if you "only" list those you find noticeable enough,
that was the point.
