There are two types of contributors: prospective Ubuntu developers and drive-by contributors. For the former it is perfectly ok to request a debdiff. They need to learn the tools. For the latter it is too much overhead. The argument for having a debdiff: In a debdiff you have a real name and an email address.

That or the sponsor spends another 30 with their editor and gives the patch author credit.
