You don't have to learn multiple ways to add a patch. You pick your preferred tool and you use it. Others use their preferred tool and everybody is happy since the exchange format (quilt series stored in debian/patches) is well defined. git-dpm and gbp-pq uses local branches that don't get pushed to update the patch series but the result is a simple update of debian/patches in whatever branch we store the Debian packaging.
