Most mangled diffs I get are caused by pine. Fixing pine would do more wonders than any magical patchbot. I also get patches and changes from people who quite genuinely either can't mail me unmangled diffs (eg the lotus corporate mail policy afflicted) or are from people who may really know their stuff and even be the vendor but are not familiar with the patch/diff tools. A robot isn't going to teach them.
