They shouldn't show up in the commit history. In a PR, you merge them in the commit that they actually fix. Otherwise when you use git blame to get the context of why a line of code was changed, all you see is a useless "fixup" message that is worse than having nothing.
Anyone can do better than a fixup commit. And doing metter means merging them into the actual commits that are fixed.

Isn't this solved if you squash the commits when merging the PR? I personally don't care that much about the commits inside a PR, the are just temporary because when a PR is merged they are squashed and you only get one commit for the whole feature on the main branches
