Yes, that's correct, provided the issue was created in the same version as
the fix/modification you're bringing.

Neither. You should look at it from the point of view of release notes. It
wouldn't make sense to have something like:

Release notes for XWiki 10.5:
* [XWIKI-11002] Implement new Gizmo feature
* [XWIKI-11003] Fix bug for new Gizmo feature

That's at least the strategy I've been using in the past.
