A help text that's equal to the menu text is useless. You should provide 
a short description
(this is usually taken from the project website).

A link to the project homepage is useful as well, see other packages for 
an example.

It's better to add a few lines at the beginning of patches to clarify 
why it's needed and
the source (e.g. the URL of a website or mailng list where it came from).

Why using a git checkout when there are officially released tarballs? If 
there's
a reason please add a comment explanining it, otherwise use the tarball.

Also, don't submit files with commented lines: if they are not needed, 
remove them.
