This is not true.  You are welcome to submit plain text patches; reST
patches are even better.  There has been a lot of confusion on this point
in the past (to which I responded by submitting a bug report and getting
the docs about submitting patches changed).  Can you point out where
you're getting this impression from so we can make further improvements
to the process?  Or do I (and others) simply need to keep repeating this
point endlessly?
