I assumed that you would need a machine-parsable index of all the
packages that have patches. I realise now that isn't the case.

The only reason I can think you would want the index is if you want to
differentiate between packages with just packaging added, packages with
changes outside debian/ and packages with patches in debian/patches/.

I guess so, yeah, all non-native packages seem to have a patch page.
