I'm in favour. The extension indicates file type, and gives guidance on the
tool that can read it. Though .patch is stored in text it's more than that
(c.f. .html) - the text inside it has meaning beyond just the text.
To me, .txt would implies that the file format is in human-language format
(i.e. words, sentences, and paragraphs).
