The problem for the author of the patch is that he/she doesn't know that. You 
may drop a comment like "please explain how to reproduce the problem / why 
the patch is needed / how your patch fixes the issue" or "the patch is 
complex, can't you write smaller patch or try to fix it in a different way"?

If Martin doesn't understand the patch, who will understand it? :-)
