(Get the code!)
I'd completely agree with that. The existence of this bug grew out of an ubuntu-devel thread discussing whether the use of the "patch" tag was appropriate for that purpose.
(thread start: https:/
Personally, I'd be happy to see this bug marked "wontfix", the patch flag disappear as often abused at some point in the future, and the bugsquad encouraged to add the "patch" tag to bugs for which there is a clear and obvious patch (in whatever form). As a one-time transition, perhaps all bugs with attachments carrying the patch flag could have the "patch" tag added to avoid anything being lost.
A statement that this is the preferred method of identifying patches may be best made on the ubuntu-devel mailing list or the launchpad documentation indicating how to use Malone: in the absence of such a statement, interest in an automated solution remains an impediment to the effective deployment of a manual system.
