Well you don't "repair" any rust holes by welding a plate over the top.
Like anywhere else you cut out the rot and weld in new metal, or cut out and replace the whole panel, or if it really is just a tiddly little hole, then a dab of weld to fill it. After any of those solutions you grind down, skim of filler to smooth, and paint.
