Also the pgsql-committers archives. (Personally, when I want to look at
a change history, I use cvs2cl to extract one from the CVS server.) The
release notes are a good high-level view, but if you want details you
need to look to the mailing list archives or CVS logs.

BTW, lots of people have the bad habit of reporting bugs on -general or
-hackers; there are significant bug fixes that never get a mention in
the -bugs list. So you really have to troll all the archives if you are
going to use the archives as your primary source. CVS change history
might be a better starting point.
