Is there any way a 'view' button could be added, along with the current edit and remove buttons, to produce the same web page and make it easier to review patches before commitment?
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.
