They can send a file or they can send a patch, yes. Patches are preferable, especially if they are in "git format-patch" form, because they allow easier review and easier installation of the changes by someone with write access. Also, if we are talking about such fine details, let's not forget that changes should be always posted for review, no matter if the author does or doesn't have write access to the repository. This is especially important in this case, since many contributors are likely to be unaware of our coding, documentation, and commenting conventions, and so patch review is an important part of making sure the results comply to our conventions.
