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.
