Bugzilla list_id parameter in URL question

Hi All,

Does anyone know what the list_id parameter is for in the URL after a 
search?

For example:

If I do an advanced search for issues fixed in 4.1.12 milestone I get 
this for a URL:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?list_id=249822&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&resolution=FIXED_WITHOUT_CODE&target_milestone=4.1.12

If I do it again I get a different list_id.
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?list_id=249823&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&resolution=FIXED_WITHOUT_CODE&target_milestone=4.1.12

If I remove it like this and use it:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&resolution=FIXED_WITHOUT_CODE&target_milestone=4.1.12
I get a new list_id again.
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?list_id=249824&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&resolution=FIXED_WITHOUT_CODE&target_milestone=4.1.12

If I reuse a previous one with the list_id it stays the same.

Are these result lists stored in the database or something?

Best regards,
Carl

While browsing through Bugzilla I sometimes find issues that were fixed
in a certain release without knowing that an issue existed. Then I
change them to FIXED and set the milestone accordingly,

They do show up in the list now. This does not happen very often, but I
am OK with that.

as we present a software release which is fix when published, so it 
cannot be changed afterwards, I would prefer to deliver a list of its 
issues which is also fixed. So, let's include (and just keep) the URL 
paramter.

My 2ct.

So it seems the list_id may be a saved result, meaning if something 
happens to an issue that would change the search result list it would 
not be updated when using the list_id in a URL.
You have to do a new search or not include the list_id in the URL to get 
the current results.
At least that is the way I'm understanding it.

Now my questions is:
When we provide a URL like this in a release blog post or announcement 
should we do a new search and use the list_id in the URL so we have a 
snapshot in time or
not include it so each user gets an up-to-date result?

For example, if an issue is changed from fixed to reopened, do we want 
that issue to appear in the list after that or not?

It might be easier on the database if we use the list_id at release time 
so everyone that follows the link isn't creating a new entry as long as 
we're okay with the snapshot in time list.

Thanks,
Carl

I did a quick search with Google (bugzilla url list_id) and found this 
as first hit:
