The term "patches" is used to refer to relatively small changes to the

-Patches should be sent for review to the [MailingListsGuidelines#Developer_list developer mailing list] and presented in the "unified `diff`" format, which is de-facto standard for many tools and the output from the `hg diff` command for Mercurial (the same format as that produced by `diff -uNr`).
