I think that either:

* We retrospectively merge 0.7 & 0.8 together in Jira
* We make sure that the release notes point to both bugs fixed in 0.7 &
0.8.

Merging the revisions seems to lose some information, but I can't think
why it'd be important information.

It should be said though that with our numbering scheme you;d expect the
vast majority of bugs to be fixed in the preceding devel version,
although they probably should be targeted at a release version if there
is a target.

To have many bugs fixed in a release version would mean that there were
a lot of blocking bugs that delayed the release. The other way you;d get
this situation is if we put out bug fix releases, something we've not
done recently at least.
