Bug Description

http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/developer-guide/HACKING.html#the-code-review-process
says:

  A .diff extension is recommended instead of .bundle as many mail clients
  will send the latter as a binary file.

By contrast, http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrGivingBack says:

  Bazaar bundles can usually be applied by patch, so '.patch' is a good
  extension to use.

The two sources of information should be made consistent.
