Yes, I missed this as well. Also IIRC the guidelines demand an patch

without noting why it is not upstreamable or information about when/how
it was upstreamed is bad and should IMHO not be done by provenpackagers.
When patching others' code, I generally follow the existing style; I can
tell you that *many* packages don't have these patch comments. Thanks
for bringing this to my attention.
But that does raise the question of whose responsibility it is to
upstream patches, the contributor or the package maintainer?
