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 agree with killes. If a user can't diff... I'd expect patches against the wrong version of a module and/or patches that provide poor or incorrect solutions to problems.
Possibly, but I often get whole modules attached to issues in contrib. Such a tool would at least put an end to that. I also get many "If you add this after line 12345...." issues. Often times, in both cases, the person (arguably with minimal coding skills) has actually identified (and corrected) a real problem. Reviewing and applying patches instead of dealing with the cases I mentioned would be easier. Anyway, it would be cool to build and see what happens. I don't have time to do it.
