Yes, a fix by somebody else to a bug that was recently introduced is safest to apply to the original topic and merge down; that way makes it more difficult to merge the original topic to older maintenance track(s) without the fix by mistake. So a "topic" with commits from multiple people is not all that unusual. Thanks.
