Being a patch does not mean it is ignore (actually, it raises the
chance it will be noticed). It's just that developer time is limited
and so someone has to just take enough interest in the patch to review
it, apply it, etc. We no longer distinguish issues between patches and
bugs; when a bug gets an attached patch we just set the proper
keyword. So creating a separate issue will just lead to it being
closed as being superceded by the patch.
