I don't deal with this stuff on a daily basis, so it's more your call.
I was just imagining really elaborate schemes that would wind up
buggy or unimplemented.  I suggested a key phrase at the start 'cuz
then this message wouldn't trigger an approval check, even if it were
containing a sample patch.  :-)  (It contains "Ok?" and "Ok to install?",
*plus* 'Patch' in the subject. ;)  Main suggestion:  keep requests simple
and unambiguous, and reduce responses to a mouse click and a simple form.
A "good thing" for those of who are time constrained (or lazy).

Cheers - Bruce
