Indeed, it might have been quicker just to raise a JIRA after all, as
well as better for folks looking to see what is in a given release and
why.

I see another commit just went in for the same closed JIRA, along with
a few more with no JIRA. When two thirds of the code changes pushed at
the same time don't have a JIRA for the next release, it doesn't seem
quite how things should be. Either a change is related to the other
commits that did have a JIRA, in which case use them, or they aren't
and then almost all of the time should have their own JIRA.
