So I don't mind patches per se, and when there's a reason for them I have no problem at all taking them.
The reason is typically something like "let's short-circuit the normal channels just to get this trivial thing sorted out and we can forget about it", but it can also be just a practical thing like "I'm traveling so it would be easier if you'd just pick up this patch directly from the mailing list".
Or it could be "I don't have a git tree since I'm not a main developer, so I just send patches".
All of those are situations where I'll happily take patches directly.
But on the whole, when there isn't any real reason to avoid a pull request, I'd much rather have the full thing with signature and everything...
