Don't be sorry -- we're super happy you're working on the patch!

The point is just that we don't copy-paste the patch you provide, we
import it directly. I simply pipe the mail to 'hg import' and Matt has
some script setup that lets him drag-drop a mail to have it imported.

So that's why we prefer to have real patches with good commit messages.
