Every patch should be "fixing a real issue"---even a new feature. But the larger the patch, the more the submitters and maintainers should be trusted rather than a bot. The line between feature and bugfix _sometimes_ is blurry, I would say that in this case it's not, and it makes me question how the bot decided that this patch would be acceptable for stable (which AFAIK is not something that can be answered).
