I, as well as others, have pointed out to Canonical on several
occasions that their patch policy is less than optimal. While some
personally agree with me, it's their policy and unfortunately it won't
change... however, maybe there's still hope, now that more people are
expressing that they'd like to receive patches and not just links to
patches.
