Coming from http://drupal.org/node/1295500#comment-5068622

There is frustration among new developers about how to make issues and patches that cause a minimum of disruption and a maximum of ease for reviewers/committers.

So we need to make a page explaining this. Suggested outline is on the above comment, and suggested place to put it is either:
http://drupal.org/patch
or
http://drupal.org/patch/review

Probably as a sub-page of one, linked to from the other, tentative page title is "Patch scope".

Filing this issue to make sure this doc gets created and reviewed.

At this point, I think this has been inactive for most of a year so I'm assuming this isn't needed any more... feel free to reopen if that is not the case.
