Releasenotes/a changelog for minor versions is an industry best-practice and should be followed. It would make life easier for many people and save time, as you may quickly see if a bug you encounter currently has been fixed in a minor version.
There's the changelog in QGIS website when a new version is released but nothing for patches. That changelog has a bug fixes part which as far as I can see is mainly bound to what is fixed during the feature freeze (mostly what QGIS project finances). Unless I overlooked, there's currently no easy way to overview the changes pushed to a point release. You can find point releases but they provide almost no information about what is fixed, unless you manually do the comparison.
If I understand correctly, this github action https://github.com/marketplace/actions/release-drafter provides ways to automatically build the changelog for target (point) release, based on labels on PR. This provides a quick overview of the main new changes in the release, communicates the liveliness of the project but also highlights (or let users appreciate) the need for an update to that point release. Example at https://github.com/release-drafter/release-drafter/releases/tag/v5.12.0
Such a feature would not be bad for the project...
