I think it's a good idea. It's a little bit of a bummer that this overlaps with CONTRIBUTE, because I think that the two documents may diverge at some point. Are we re-introducing the use of "patch" in email submissions? Its use was unofficially discouraged I believe by Andrew Cagney, who thought it was ambiguous (re: checked in or not?). I don't mind, and it makes things simpler for git users, where PATCH is the default for format-patch (which is used by send-email). -- Joel
