Markus, you already replied to this thread.

Greg, HCH, Matthew Wilcox and Krzysztof Kozlowski have all asked you to
stop.  Those are respected kernel maintainers.  You should listen to
them.

If you see a bug, that's useful.  But if you're just nitpicking the
commit message, that's not useful.  We have explained this many times as
clearly as we know how.

No.  It's not a bug fix so a Fixes tag is innappropriate.
