Can you point me to a **patch** on IssueTracker? Would they look like 
"diff" output.

I must say, last week I played a bit with xtla
http://wiki.gnuarch.org/xtla
in xemacs (I use the proposed debian package). It seems that xtla cannot 
do everything, but the feature to type ? in a buffer and get the 
available commands is very helpful. And I rather like to look at file 
differences using ediff in emacs.

I have nothing against keeping track of patches on IssueTracker. If you 
figure out how this could be done automatically.
