I don't think we need tickets for everything. Any significant changes -- changes that you would want mentioned in a changelog -- should end up with a ticket, because that's how we track for mentioning them in release notes/news for the next release. Sufficiently detailed commit messages seem fine to me for the common case where a bug is fixed 'on the fly' -- it will likely be a single line change that this kind of thing is affected for. So yeah, I'd say it only needs a ticket if you think that it's something that's going to be mentioned in release notes. Anything that's simple bugfixing doesn't need that. Of course, tickets should continue to be opened by users who know a problem, but not a fix :) Or with patches for those who don't have commit rights.
