The only reason I went with the IESG minutes is because they do state 
the "pending" actions too, as well as the completed ones, which the IETF 
Announce list does not. For instance, the IESG minutes say things like:

"The document remains under discussion by the IESG in order to resolve 
points raised by..."

"The document was approved by the IESG pending an RFC Editor Note to be 
prepared by..."

"The document was deferred to the next teleconference by..."

The minutes also of course reflect all of the approvals. So they do seem 
to more completely replace what that paragraph as talking about. And we 
have archives of IESG minutes back to 1991; we've only got IETF Announce 
back to 2004.

I'm not personally committed to going one way or the other. The minutes 
just seemed to me the more complete record.
