How I'm reading the latter paragraph is that patch messages are *alternative* as some non-patch summary message, am I wrong? I think the two should be orthogonal: you can have or not a summary message, you can have or not a patch. But still this does not solve another problem we have with patch management in the BTS: they are sometimes inlined, while sometimes the are attached. Can't we fix attachment as the required format for patches? (e.g. forcing an attachment if one wants to add +patch or something similar). This + the forthcoming ability above to identify *the* latest patch will give us the ability to automatically extract patches from bug reports.
