If you do submit to Trac, I still feel that running "svn diff" which
shows new patches and deletes the obsolete ones means least work for
someone trying to reproduce your work. Then again, this does not work
well for renamed files.

GitHub pull request, please.

It is true that we are still perfectly fine with trac tickets, it's
just that it will on average take orders of magnitude less time to get
it merged if you open a PR.
