We already sometimes do that, see for example commit
ab470fbc8eb1053548c3d33e807db84fd5af1445, which has:

    Fixes: 51b27bad915c95499877c8bf9a16a221c904bf82

Two Fixes: tags won't be a problem.

Or the commit introducing the problem can simply be mentioned in the
commit log, like d28ae8b00b7aa5018ec24809ecc393e7420bc292, which goes
like this:

    package/ustream-ssl: fix build w/ mbedtls v3.6
    
    Since the mbedtls bump to v3.6 [1] the ustream-ssl package is failling
    on the autobuilder with the following error:

    [...]

    [1] 3481a9643f package/mbedtls: bump to version 3.6.3.1

    Fixes: https://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/c20/c20dac7cbe5def2c6036d2e1d06de0bfea68b57c

What is important is that the information is available, to facilitate
the effort of the LTS maintainers.

Best regards,

Thomas
