It's standard operating procedure.  Suppose in addition to the two birds 
you mention the patch also kills an innocent kitten.  Since it's one 
patch, if a fix is not immediately forthcoming, the maintainer has to 
revert the patch, bringing both birds back to life.

With one patch per bird, the maintainer can revert just the patch which 
killed the kitten, leaving the other bird dead.

It's also easier to review two small patches rather than one large patch.
