Coordinated naming of patches (and sources, and other files) used to
matter when people dumped them in a shared directory like
~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/. I really really hope nobody does that anymore.

When files are stored in individual directories, in the usual dist-git
layout, then the naming is up to the maintainers. In particular,
NNNN-description-with-dashes.patch is often used, since this is
what 'git format-patch' generates. But there is no need for guidlines
to prescribe any naming.
