I don't see how one would consider something as drastic as rewriting
history justified in this case.

The commits are not bad.  They are not wrong.  The opposite is the case:
they fix mistakes introduced by previous commits.  They only have the
wrong commit message, and they only have the wrong message because they
are so small that I had planned to meld them with the then unpublished
commits that introduced the bugs.

Rewriting history would be a colossal overreaction.  Instead these
commits should be a visible reminder that even contributors of many
thousand commits over the past decade may still fumble the ball and mess
up.  (Alas, this is not a reminder I personally need...)
