You made the right choice.  As I see it, bug fixes should be in the bug 
tracking category, and the patch category is more for non-bug things 
such as new features, restructuring of code, i.e., something where the 
patch might evolve a bit before finding its way into the repository. 
The category name "patch" is much more vague than "bug", but I suppose 
there is no precedent nomenclature for the latter category.
