From my perspective having a pretty, command-line way to download patch
sets would be a nice QoL feature to have and might make the patch review
process simpler.

On a related note I recently discovered that issues.guix.gnu.org does
have a patch-set endpoint that optionally takes a revision e.g.
issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/70XXX/patch-set/3.
