    how does this solve any of the bugs?


It's not clear why this is an issue since it has no effect on the code being patched. This is strictly a patch documentation related change automatically generated by "git format-patch". I merely wanted the patches to be consistently self-documented relative to the original tarball.

maybe it's just me, but it looks like a mindset thing

we're in deep "bugfix only" mode.... I would expect that to fix a bug, the utmost minimum is done to fix that bug (eg add one clearly minimal patch for said bug), both to minimize risk, and to ease review
(eg prove by obviousness that only the minimum is changing).

for me, "oh it makes git-format-patch easier" has no place in that discussion.. or could even be part of a thought process while in this mindset.

oh well... not everyone is yet in the bugfix-only mindset I suppose
