To make it easier to patch correctly, perhaps it would help if you
could visit an org file, and simply call an org-patch command that
would do something like this:
- create a directory as a sibling to the org source dir if it does not exist
- put the original and a copy in it
- remind the user to put it in load-path in front of org
- let you edit the copy
- give you hints on org coding style
- remind you to use short functions that do only one thing
- tell you how to instrument for testing
- remind you of gnu requirements
- tell you to run org-patch-diff to create a temporary buffer with
the correct diff output
At least, if I wanted to, say, correct a typo in an org function, I
wouldn't bother unless I could do it this easily, for fear of getting
it wrong.

Now that I think of it, most of this is useful for emacs in general.
Perhaps something already exists that is this easy?

Hi Samuel,
it seems to me that people who want to create patches regularly would
live much better if they'd use a versioning system to create these
patches. What you describe is more a facility for the casual patch
producer, which are the people who usually don't write patches.
