If that should track all the things regressed since previous
18.3 version was branched:
-------------------
tag 18.3-branchpoint
Tagger: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 1 18:47:06 2018 +0000
-------------------

Then there are a couple of other (i965) regressions I've reported:
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109055 (Vulkan / CPU)
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108820 (compute hangs)
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108787 (BSW CarChase aborts)

(First two seem at least partially resolved.)

That one regressed after 18.2-branchpoint:
-------------------
Tagger: Andres Gomez <agomez at igalia.com>
Date:   Thu Aug 2 17:57:41 2018 +0300
-------------------

And it wasn't listed in 18.2.x release tracker bug.

Neither were its duplicates:
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107706
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107743


If there's a release check list for Mesa, it could have items for:
* having the release tracker meta bug
* going through bugzilla bugs that have been created after previous
   release branch point was tagged and, adding the relevant ones
   to the release tracker bug
