It looks like it is already a clone (and hack?) from somewhere else: $ head -n1 tools/patman/README # Copyright (c) 2011 The Chromium OS Authors. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it incorporated knowledge specific to the u-boot workflow (and the original version stuff for Chromium OS) and wasn't a completely general purpose tool. If that is the case then it seems that anyone who wishes to use it surely has a u-boot source tree around to run it from. If it is not the case then I would think upstream git would be a better home, or at least a separate project/source package as you suggest.
