Comment (by raimue at macports.org):

 We should discuss the patch naming policy on the list before making
 changes. I don't know when or how it was decided to be 'patch-*.diff', but
 why change it to 'patch-*' now and not '*.diff'?

 I think this was introduced to make it easier for committers to use
 patches with their favorite editor. Therefore '*.diff' would match this
 requirement more than 'patch-*'.

 Also, I think this might have reference at other places (the guide?),
 where it would have to be changed, too.
