In Debian (or in OpenEmbedded) it is solved by implementing DEP-3 [1]
which is set of requirements about extra metadata in patches such as:

- Description or Subject (required)
- Origin (required except if Author is present)
- Bug-<Vendor> or Bug (optional)
- Forwarded (optional)
- Author or From (optional)
- Reviewed-by or Acked-by (optional)
- Last-Update (optional)
- Applied-Upstream (optional)

I am opposed to any such scheme, because it means we could no longer produce
our patches with diff without hand-editing them.

Ever heard of "quilt"? It even has handling of sane spec files built-in.

My common way of tweaking Fedora patches is this:

cd ~/rpmbuild/fedora-packager/PACKAGENAME/
git up
quilt setup -v *spec
cd SOURCENAME-VERSION
quilt push -a

And then I have upstream source with Fedora patches applied. 'quilt push/pop' allows me to apply/revert patches, 'quilt refresh' refreshes patch (amount of context lines etc can be configured, description is kept, diffstat can be added).

Try it one day?
