I'm reviewing an internal change that is fixing a memory leak of the same
object in two different error paths. However each of the two error paths were
introduced in separate commits, so there would be two Fixes: tags if both of
these are fixed with the same patch.

So is there any guidance on whether this should be one or two patches?

Ideally 2, if it's two different changes in the diff.  But we have
patches with multiple Fixes: tags all the time, it's not unusual and if
it works for you, no objection.

thanks,
