Hello!
I'm writing my thesis expecting to refer to commit issues on the PostgreSQL website pgsql-bugs mailing list via bug numbering, but I'm concerned that some of the commit issues are not numbered (e.g., https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1958255.PYKUYFuaPT%40aivenlaptop#1bdd1e237c4858f85b031352... ), and I'm curious about this, so I'd like to ask you for what reason this is happening, please! Thank you

Uh, many commits are unrelated to actual bug reports. Connecting
commits to email messages should be easier, though only some commits
mention the email thread that prompted the commit.

We have a web interface to report bugs, which assigns numbers to them;
this interface simply copies the text to an email to the pgsql-bugs
mailing list, including the assigned number. However, many bugs are
reported not via the web interface but instead by direct email to the
same pgsql-bugs mailing list or even to another one (frequently
pgsql-hackers, but others too); these do not get any number. That's
exactly what happened in the case you quote.
We don't have a central bug tracking system.

That said, it is still quite possible to track bugs in Postgres;
simple even. https://twitter.com/robtreat2/status/1556991088912654337
