No, I mean adding patches like this:

(define %CVE-1970-0001.patch
  (origin
    (method url-fetch)
    (uri "https://example.com/CVE-2017-0001.patch")
    (sha256
     (base32
      "12c60iwxyc3rj6ih06a1g80vmkf8khvhm44xr9va4h21b74v8f5k"))))

(package
 (...
  (patches (list (search-patch "guix-specific-stuff.patch")
                 %CVE-1970-0001.patch)))

That only requires the built-in guix downloader.
