A patch is a diff file. I just look at it directly (from Jira). In
most cases there's enough context to figure out what a change does (or
how a given think is implemented). I guess for most people there's a
level of trust that the person submitting a patch will run precommit/
tests and the feedback is about less trivial things (such as logical
issues or higher-order problems).

I like it too, but I don't use it for Lucene development. And I don't
think it's that much better than a udiff (a patch file). But things
will vary depending whom you ask. This is part of why open source is
attractive to many -- it's very liberal. (Linus T. may disagree here
:).

This is a can of worms we touched just recently... search the mailing
list and see for yourself. David Smiley (and others) suggested a
workflow, but I don't think it's been hard-locked and agreed upon by
all the devs. It seems like a sensible proposal though.
