I believe that people not able and/or willing to provide proper patches will probably only provide second rate code anyway and it isn't worth the bother.
I was one of those people not long ago. Sometimes they fix things that wouldn't be fixed otherwise. At present, if the fix is worthwhile, a more experienced developer may go through the code and create a proper patch. You may be right that it's not worth the trouble to make it easier for inexperienced people to contribute code, but it is worthwhile to make it easier for experienced developers to work on contributed code. Besides, it was an experienced developer who said this system would be easier for him to use.
