`Fixes` is meant for issues/bugs. So if the macro was broken, i.e. it
does not do what it says it would, it would be a fix.

But if I understand correctly, the docs say this was not supported, so
it is not a fix, it is just expanding the feature set.

Similarly, `Reported-by` is not meant for feature requests.
