Ergo: if somebody sends you mime-encoded patches, hit them with a baseball 
bat (politely) and teach them not to do that. "Fixing" the tools really 
will just make things worse if it means that you apply raw emails without 
having edited them.

I'd say that QP and the MIME/alternate formats are not really the fault of 
the sender, but rather the mailer. So there might be value in supporting 
at least these, to make the life of maintainers easier.
