Testing bugfix releases would be a good idea, although I doubt that
we'd be able to test each and every bug.
The reasons are:

a) it's a lot of work
b) not every bug is reproducible on every system (e.g. AMD bugs can't
be reproduced on NVIDIA chips)
c) not every dev team uses Bugzilla as structured and efficient as
KWin does

But testing what's possible to test is generally a very good idea.

A little question though: why did you give us a link with a search by
"Target Milestone"? This doesn't cover all bugs that were fixed in 4.9.1.
Searching for "Version Fixed In" would be more meaningful:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_versionfixedin&list_id=188913&o1=equals&resolution=FIXED&chfieldto=Now&chfield=cf_versionfixedin&query_format=advanced&bug_status=RESOLVED&v1=4.9.1&product=kwin

Unfortunately, that field is also often left blank, but I guess it's
more reliable than "Target Milestone".

Cheers
Janek
