Hmmm, interesting.  There are several PRs which have a target of 3.4.0
but which don't show up on your list because they do not have 3.4 in
the subject line.  This includes some critical PRs like 11326 and
13316 (I submitted the latter) which are not regressions but are ABI
issues and as such should be considered before a release.

I think that what you really want is to search for all bugs with a
target of 3.3.3 or 3.3.4 with "3.4" in the summary, or for all bugs
targeted for 3.4.0.  In other words, this search:
