Then you surely can point me to documentation about how I, as the MR
submitter am supposed to improve the MR. I am not sure whether just
pushing my fixed code to the branch that I submitted an MR for will
automatically update the MR o whether I am supposed to do some magic
chants to have those changes show up in the MR, or whether I am
supposed to comment on the thread after pushing an improvement and who
is supposed to close the discussion thread in the MR.

I guess that a lot of this depends on convention, but in a forge as
large as salsa we should have our conventions in writing so that
newbies¹ know what to do.

Greetings
Marc

¹ I have been a DD for two decades, but handling MRs in Salsa is -
from both sides of the story - still byzantine to me
