If the update fixes a bug which is properly mentioned in the bugs field,
why does this fact need to be mentioned again in the update notes? It
should be obvious that an update fixing a bug is worth pushing out.

Also instead of writing policy, better make Bodhi allow to easier write
good update notes, e.g. by using/including the upstream, RPM or GIT
changelog, so it can be easily used if it already contains the necessary
information.
