The kernel packages use patches.tar.xz and get away with it. Every package with more than a dozen patches is most likely easier to handle with that approach :)
Isn't it much harder to review changes with that approach?
Are you saying that factory reviewers would look at every single patch
and try to figure out if it's correct? In my experience, factory review
is focused on formal aspects of rpm building, the spec file and the
changelog. Which is fine on that level.
Review of individual patches for given software packages are the
package maintainer's task. Package maintainers are likely to work with
git or some other VC system on their package anyway, and if they are,
they are served better by the VC than by the patch listing in the spec
file.
