Patch files can be generated with 'debtags diff' or 'tagcoll diff'. Patch submissions are marked with a tag of your choice. It does not need to identify yourself (but feel free to use your email address), but reusing your tag allows to handle all your edits as if they were a single one. This helps greatly when tags are reviewed. By default, a mostly persistent but anonymous tag is generated by hashing your passwd entry.
