I'm not really sure what you mean here.

I've provided all patches [1] needed to enable coloured diffs
for the Windows console API (disregarding CygWin which has
ANSI-decoding built-in).

So it would just takes someone with a bit more "git-skills" than
I have, to do make a proper "git email-formatted" patch or whatever
you mean. And frankly I don't care if you do enable this feature
or not. So there you have it. It's your call.
