One could also have sections for each 10.1 release:
Bugs fixed in 10.2.1.4
DERBY-xxx
Bugs fixed in 10.1.3.1 and 10.2.1.4
DERBY-yyy
...
Bugs fixed in 10.1.2.3 and 10.2
Not sure how far back one would go though.

I do think it could be useful to have such a section where bugs ported
to branches are also mentioned. And to make
it simple just mention the branch to which the port happened (not the
point release, to avoid multiple sections).
for e.g:
10.2 release notes:
--------------------
- Bugs fixed in 10.2 only
- Bugs fixed in 10.2 and 10.1
10.3 release notes:
---------------------
- Bugs fixed in 10.3 only
- Bugs fixed in 10.3 and 10.2
- Bugs fixed in 10.3 and 10.2 and 10.1
The link to JIRA issue is either way provided in the release notes so
finding the version of a branch with the fix won't be hard for anyone.
My $0.02.
