I think that is a severe underestimation. People that read the release notes obviously read it because they want to know what changed. But the release notes are very terse (on purpose, and with good reason), and people likely want a bit more details on some of the items that they are particularly interested in. These links allow people to easily find details on those items. They might not care about the actual code from the commit, but the commit message is very likely useful to them.
