Chris,
I'm trying to make contributing palatable to all comers.
In reality it depends on how complex the patch is. If it's a big change I'd rather review it on Github than in plain text on a bug. OTOH if it's a simple fix it makes more sense and is less work to just do a format-patch and upload it to BZ, especially if the user doesn't have a github account already. I wouldn't want to make it seem like that sort of patch is a second-class contribution, and I don't want to make that paragraph so laden with if-this-then-that that it turns off casual bug-fixers.
Can you come up with better wording?
Regards,
John Ralls
