Third, in many cases, one can open a new ticket to improve the changes
introduced by a patch from an existing ticket. In such cases, I think
one can suggest this option to the patch author and leave it to them
to either incorporate the changes in the current patch, or to open a
new ticket to implement the change.

In my experience, "resolving" issues with a current ticket by opening a new ticket results in sub-par code getting in--and the motivation to make improvements drops substantially (meaning the follow-up tickets can linger for a long time).

I agree with Robert there. It is better the code is committed with issues resolved, rather than leave them for a later date.

Of course it depends on the nature of the suggested changes--it's a good idea to push unimplemented enhancements off to new tickets, but not defects.

Obviously.
