I created some patches dealing with about 5 issues that currently leave only 12 bugs unfixed (of about 40 reports in bugzilla that deal with forward references and circular import problems - I could add some more dependencies to this tracker).

But where in bugzilla should I attach the patches? Some bugs might be fixed
with only part of the changes, while other rely on these. I don't want to
duplicate patches in different bug reports. Is this tracker bug the right
place?
It seems it is not meant to hold patches.

No, nothing should go in this tracker. It's compensating for the lack of a
'forward-reference' keyword. Personally I'm not convinced that these tracker
bugs are helpful.
Attach the patches to the individual bugs. If one patch fixes two bugs, just
put it in one of them, and in the other, add a comment 'the patch for bug XXX
also fixes this'. The add the 'patch' keyword to both bug reports. Looking
forward to see what you've got!

The way I see it, it's supplementing keywords (and indeed products/components) by providing a means of grouping together issue with a common theme or towards a common objective.  Our keywords, OTOH, mainly different characteristics a bug may have.  OK, so there are other ways of using both trackers and keywords. Look on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ at how extensively they're used.  (There, incidentally, is a keyword "meta" indicating tracker bugs.)

Once again, can people PLEASE STOP VOTING FOR THIS BUG!

This is *not* a bug. It's a tracker.
