I do not mind if you help the effort by updating that document as
well to match, but I have a feeling that the first contribution,
with a follow-up to fix, is sufficiently different from a more
advanced "I need something more than and not yet in 'master' for my
new topic" use case.

No, the advice should be totally different between these two cases.

The "fix or enhance what you already sent" is a continuation of the
same topic, just you, your reviewers and your maintainer were all
not competent enough to catch the shortcomings before the topic hits
'master', and it does make sense to make correction directly on top.

What I am describing here is "I am doing something new, but uses
what is not yet in 'master'.  The author of that other thing I am
depending on may or may not mean to help this new thing when they
wrote it, but the important point is that this is not a continuation
of their topic. It merely depends on them".

Thanks.
