You can do it as a reply to this thread, or you can start a new thread. If there is a lot of discussion in the bug report thread, it is sometimes helpful to reference it in your commit message or cover letter. E.g. as:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/87o7792xgu.fsf@posteo.net/

but in this case the issue is simple enough that you can just describe the problem fully in the commit message.
