Please don't. As much as it is useful to fix buggy code at a later point, it is the same useful to prevent introducing buggy code at a later point!
Never saw some code that looked funny at first sight, and that you considered 'fixing', then checked the commit messages and understood why the code was written the way it is?
Fixing it, would have meant introducing a bug.
