I suggest to improve the change description.

* Please use an imperative wording.

nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive ...

I have made some comment suggestions in response to the original posts
from the author.

* Will the tag âFixesâ become relevant?

Yes, both patches from the author are fixes. These leaks would typically
appear on a system under resource pressure (specifically low memory) and
would tend to make the situation worse.
