fwiw, 'gendiff' does not retain comments in patches and fails when one
file is touched by multiple patches.  I wrote a wrapper around 'quilt'
which is used like

| %apply -n23 -p1

This expands to

| quilt import -p 1 %PATCH23
| quilt push -f

resp.

| %patch23 -p1

on systems without this macro.  Refreshing and developing of patches is
very easy in this way.
