I think the best would be if you could file the fixes as separate
bugreports in bugzilla with patches attached for each case. If it's hard
to separate things just file it as one report.

The reason why it's better to split it up is that the maintainer can
more easily review them and also apply the ones he/she immediately
approve of, and let some be until a decision can be made.
