I was suggesting it because it's easier to see changes via the GitHub UI than in a patch in an email.
Hmm, I see your point. However, I'd rather not depend on GitHub-specific features, as I don't want to tie the development version to GitHub (we may want to move it to iana.org, for example). The patch format I'm using is the Git standard and many tools are available to process it, so readers preferring alternate views have many options. For example, if you're using Thunderbird there's the Colored Diffs add-on <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/colored-diffs/>, not that I've ever used it (I prefer reading the standard format).
