I've seen some patches of lower quality added to Maemo Bugzilla, so I
would add that
      * Patches should not generate any more compile time warnings than
        were already there.
      * Patches should not include any commented code lines from tests.
      * Patches should not add any extra debug printing unless
        absolutely necessary
      * Patches should match the Coding Style of the existing source
        file, e.g. with regard to indentation and whitespaces etc.
      * When attaching a patch in bugs.maemo.org, add the "patch"
        keyword to the bug report.

But maybe this goes too much into details already?
