No, nothing should go in this tracker. It's compensating for the lack of a
'forward-reference' keyword. Personally I'm not convinced that these tracker
bugs are helpful.
Attach the patches to the individual bugs. If one patch fixes two bugs, just
put it in one of them, and in the other, add a comment 'the patch for bug XXX
also fixes this'. The add the 'patch' keyword to both bug reports. Looking
forward to see what you've got!
