Not sure it's documented. But back when I first started getting involved 
Nick Skaggs was still QA guy and not what he is now.

Having a bug number and linking that to the mp is the only way we have 
to keep track of where changes come from.

At the moment (as you've now discovered) we have to manually edit the 
testcases once mp is approved.

Basically 'we' try and check a testcase when something else comes up in 
order to keep them up to date.
