I've been encouraged to submit diffs because they are easier to see
within trac and therefore are more likely to be reviewed. Considering
that this is the same person (mostly) who has actually reviewed and
applied the patches I've submitted, I have to admit that I'm inclined
to continue submitting diffs and wonder if moving away from diffs will
result in less patches being applied.

I'm happy to do either; I'll do what I can to get the patches reviewed
and applied. So far my anecdotal evidence suggests that providing
diffs helps.
