Well, they tell us all to move to 3.2.X, but even now there is still no 3.2.0 changelog available anywhere. If they have changes they do not want to reveal, how can we have any confidence in 3.2.0? Sure, there's a changelog for later 3.2.X, but they are all based on 3.2.0 which has no changelog.

the group who do the -stable kernels is different from the group who do the .0 kernels.
the .0 kernels contain _so_ many changes, that nobody bothers to publish a changelog for them. The data is stored in git. so if you want the information you can query it, but when there are 10,000+ changes in the 3.2.0 kernel, it's pretty pointless to make it into a text file and store it somewhere. anyone who really cares can look at git, and you don't waste space on something that everyone else will ignore as being to big.
nobody is hiding data here, the data is widely published in git.

Well, the kernel team doesn't, but our esteemed editors at LWN and at LinuxNewbies do publish digests of (what they think is) important changes :)
