That does have the problem that it will pick up any change not just
changes where the resolution changes to fixed. Probably not a big
deal.

+1 from me.
I can get an extra bug or two fixed by then. (got one on RB already)

I would also like to suggest as most our changes are very visual the
"things we've fixed" section should have lots of "before => after"
screenshots. It will give a better example of the sort of thing we're
setting out to fix, and it looks a lot better. They should be
available in the review request most the time anyway.
