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).
