You can tell from the tags and linked MRs whether an issue was fixed in 
a given version or not; there'll be a green tag with the major version 
number (9.18, 9.20, etc) if the issue is fixed in that major version, 
and a linked backport MR for each major version as well.  There'll also 
be an "Affects" tag for each major version known to be affected, 
regardless of whether it's fixed or not.  #4669 only applies to 9.19 
(the development version that is the precursor to 9.20), as notify 
sending was refactored in 9.19, and that refactoring is what introduced 
that bug.
