Unfortunately this is rather sub-optimation for distribution packaging / 
packagers,
especially due to the ever changing file.

If you do not want to spin new full tarballs (which I would vote for), 
please at least
avoid the ever changing file (time consuming to track, review and not 
nice to checksum),
and put single patches with numerical ordering into some directory, like 
e.g GNU bash
(and others) is doing it. This way it's way more easy to follow, track, 
review and
friendly to common packaging system which checksum the upstream source 
files,
especially for security.

Yours,
