I'd suggest one general bug, and uploading one patch per module - that
way the can be evaluated on a case by case basis (a single huge
multi-file patch would be more difficult, and could become out of
date).

Personally however, I would prioritise more unit test coverage over
this, but on the other hand its the kind of short task you can handle
when you have the odd spare 10 minutes.  Up to you.
