One thing that patch submitters can do already is to make sure that
their patches are recognized as text/plain by the tracker.  This can
be achieved using standard extensions such as .patch, .diff, or .txt
and avoiding non-satndard ones such as .patch2.  Note that if you
accidentally uploaded a text file with a wrong extension, you can go
to the edit page and change the file name and/or content type.

I think the tracker may become a little more proactive in enforcing
plain text attachments by rejecting unrecognized extensions or warning
users about them.

On a similar note, I wonder if tracker should simply reject binary
attachments with a possible exception of well formed UTF-8 text.
