How are you trying to apply the patch?

I saved the patch onto my computer, and then I applied it like this on
top of commit f467c35261:

$ git am ~/tmp/0001-gnu-Add-guile-commonmark.patch
Applying: gnu: Add guile-commonmark

It also worked when I used the patch command:

$ patch -p1 < ~/tmp/0001-gnu-Add-guile-commonmark.patch  
patching file gnu/packages/guile.scm
