Technicially only for X11R6.8.x canidates bug having bug ids for all
patches would help in other cases (see below).

Bugzilla is not only a bugreporting system, it can also be used for
documentation and syncronisation across developers (e.g. think about
bugzilla as a mailinglist system, one list per bugid). Right now it is
not mandatory to use it but on the other side it isn't really a pain to
capture a diff and put it into a bugzilla bug (you do _not_ have to
write a essay with 2000 words to describe the patch). It helps a lot if
that patch should later be put into a branch or caused problems
somewhere - then people can simply comment into that bug (reaching the
developer directly and keeping all comments related to that patch
together instead of being shattered over the whole mailinglist) instead
of using this mailinglist.
Please _use_ bugzilla for new patches if possible. It helps a lot with
keeping things under control. X.org gets more and more developers and
right now it's becoming more and more difficult to keep things under
control, track the changes which go in and handle regressions caused by
checkins.
