[Development] How to relate patch to bug report?

I am working on a patch for a bug report (590520
<https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/590520> for
QTBUG-126835 <https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-126835>). Is there
something I should do to relate the patch and the bug to each other beyond
documenting "Task-number:" in the code review commit message? Should I ask
the bug be assigned to me when I am not a Qt Company employee? Is it okay
to put a comment in the bug report that says "I have a patch, #######, that
addresses this defect so other developers can see a solution to the bug?

This is my first contribution to the Qt framework and I don't have a Gerrit
Buddy. While at the Contributor's Summit in Wurzburg, a helpful Qt employee
walked me through starting a code review and then abandoning it. That
triggered the Gerrit Buddy program, but I did not know it at the time. When
I started the real code review
<https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/590520>, I didn't
have a Gerrit Buddy to answer noob questions like the one in the subject
line.
