Here is an automated report that I produce to help track the changes:

We are doing the best we can.  Bugs are cloned across the two specs, but 
the process is made more cumbersome when bugs don't indicate the commit 
associated with a bug and actually resolves the bug after the change is 
already incorporated into the W3C spec:
