In "open_midx_bitmap()", we do a loop with the MIDX(es) in repo, when
the first one has been found, then will break out by a "return"

But actually, it's better to don't stop the loop until we have visited
s/don't stop/continue
both the MIDX in our repository, as well as any alternates (along with
_their_ alternates, recursively).

The discussion link of community:

In the future, it is often worth summarizing the discussion, optionally
linking off to the list archive. In this case, I wouldn't mind a little
more detail beyond "it's better to [continue] the loop until ...".

In particular, you say it's better without saying why that is the case.
The link to [ref] explains, but this commit
message as-is leaves out some details that are important IMHO.
