Sorry, just notice your email. I think it's better to add a separate function, sort of `M-x send-patch-to-= emacs`. Because `report-emacs-bug` has a lot of information unrelated to se= nding a patch; and then I think I may be useful to add some other informati= on that is specific to sending a patch but useless to sending a bug report.
