There's a couple of ways to track what happens in bugzilla:

1) You can subscribe to or read the archives of public-html-bugzilla, though as
you note that gives you a flood of irrelevant info.

2) You can add yourself to the Cc list of specific bugs you are interested in.

3) You can regularly do a bugzilla search query for bugs that have moved to
state RESOLVED in some period of time (e.g. weekly). That's what I do to gather
monthly bug stats, and Laura Carlson does it weekly for a subset of the bugs.

I agree it would be good to document these, though it seems like a separate
issue from the original substance of this bug.

We could also add additional ways, for example it may be possible to set up a
mailing list that gets mail only when a bug moves into RESOLVED state. I can
ask our Team Contacts about the feasibility of doing that.
