It doesn't make them invalid. They still work fine. "port lint" exists to tell you about things that are wrong with your portfiles (errors) and things which could be improved about your portfiles (warnings). The patchname check is a warning, not an error.
I was kinda hoping that the ports should pass without errors OR warnings. But maybe it should whine about missing modelines or tab characters too, I just thought we had agreed that both forms of patches were acceptable. If it indeed is something that "SHOULD" be used, then by all means lint. --anders
