Applying a patch is the smallest issue here as with a wellformed patch its only something like patch -p0 < some_patch. Reviewing a patch and testing etc. cannot be solved by any VCS.
No, but if Jiří generates a patch and applies it to his tree and I pull the same patch into my tree and we both run it for a week, and vouch for it the the core devs probably shouldn't need to do as much testing.
As far as I see it, thats a win for everyone.
