There seems to be a (perhaps natural) reluctance to send patches with
`M-x report-emacs-bug'.  Perhaps because it feels presumptuous or
something?  I don't know?

Perhaps Emacs should have an `M-x send-emacs-patch' function, that could
also be featured (prominently?) in the mode line?

It would basically just open up a mail buffer like `M-x
report-emacs-bug' does, but the text could be different.  It could
mention stuff like how we prefer patches to be formatted, and the
copyright assignment thing, but mainly point out HEY! WE WANT PATCHES!
YES! SEND THEM TO US!

And then they'd end up in the debbugs bug tracker.
