That sounds like a recipe for apply-conflicts due ot copy-paste mangling
tabs & spaces etc.

Conversely, the PostgreSQL development mailing list only deals with
patches as attachments, not inline, and everybody there manages to cope.

Just because one open source community has one particular work-flow does
not mean every other one should have the same.

In my opinion the correct work-flow on bug-hurd is "whatever bests works
with Samuel" and then "if more than one things works ok with him, use
whatever most others do as well".
