Bug Description
Many attachments with the patch flag are not really patches but additional information like screenshots, crash reports, or logs. Would it be a reasonable idea to limit the patch flag to files that are actually code patches?

It may be difficult to define a "code patch". There's lots of text/plain that's not patches, and it may be that fixing an issue requires an update to a graphic, sound file, or similar supplementary file. Further some patches are compressed to save space With a sufficiently selectable mechanism, and sufficiently intelligent processing, this would be quite interesting.
