At the very least publish those bugs that are aliased to bugs in the Public 
bugzilla. You have the public bugs aliased to internal bug references and I 
assume (bad I know) that a similar relationship exists internally in which case 
simply pull out those aliased bugs that are fixed in the most recent release. 
Any half-decent bug tracking system should allow this type of query.

Is there any scope here to introduce automated testing? It sounds like that's 
what you need.

However I fail to understand what your point has to do with the generation of a 
changelog.
