You could generate the patch tag from the data in the patch but not the other way round. Our kernel maintainers have a hard requirement for commented patches, why can't we have that for the rest of the distribution?
For Samba we ensure to have a header in each patch. By this header we're able to identify the author and the addressed issue. In the case of an upstream patch this is identical to the output of git show <object> and the name of the object also defines the filename. [...] But these are all details other teams don't care about. As we don't care much about how the x.org or kernel developers maintain their packages.
Is this the result cause we're all this ignorant?
Nope, just a "forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." :) If nobody told them, who would? Mails like yours on samba, pth's on OFED, etc. all highlight what's wrong with standard #1.
