Take a look at this example: https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/[email protected]/ which was previously classified as a patch, but no longer. My reading of Jacob's request is that an attachment might still result in the thread being marked as a PATCH (unlike /next/), but that the subject line takes precendence (like /next/). So a combination of the old and new approaches would make most sense to me. I guess my intuition is that false negatives are worse than false positives, but perhaps others (who frequent the tracker more than I do) might disagree.
