That sounds quite sensible to me. Sometimes I make a patch before opening a ticket, so the patch name does not have the ticket number on it (e.g. #6386 opened yesterday). But it would not be a bad thing if I had opened the ticket first (to indicate that I was working on it) so that I would have had the number available when creating the patch.
I like to be able to clear out all the patches which lie around on various computers. I know that any patch with a trac number on it will exist on trac so can be deleted; anything without a number is more likely to be some work inprogress which I have saved from one Sage build to carry on with on another, so I tend not to delete those.
