Bugzilla can also be used to track pending patches so that they are  
not forgotten and need to be re-sent.

And there are also issues (bugs and enhancements) without having a  
stable branch. For example, the big issue of GCC4, or now 0.9.1 is  
being released although it no longer builds on OSX due to missing  
LDFLAGS (not the main platform, I know, but seems fixable), or  
regressions in sparc32 emulation etc. There's not a lack of things to  
be tracked. Tracking those wouldn't strictly require bug-fix-only  
releases but it would help with the QA of the occasional releases made.
