... and that they have Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit or 8bit.

*Not* quoted-printable or base64.

Which means that you lose if the patch contains chars whose 8th bit is
set, if any MTA between you and Linus/Alan/etc. doesn't like that. Which
is not quite unlikely. (But most MUAs won't allow you to send something
like that anyway.)
