s/patch//

Usually we don't say "This patch" because the voice should be
imperative. From submitting-patches.rst:

 Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
 instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
 to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
 its behaviour.
