I'd expect patches to be named anything but *.orig to be ok, at least this
used to be the  case. I think accepting patch-* (excetp patch-*.orig) is
ok, and this shouldn't be restricted further - think of when we decide to
use pathnames for automatic patch generation, we can store the pathname
then (with s,/,_,)
