Big branches are usually wrong. Instead of using diffsplit I'd suggest
that people provide the patches as patch series, as done in Linux
kernel, or in topic branches.

If the user/devel has a server where he/she can host the branches, a
set of small topic branches are easier to review and merge. Otherwise
git send-email does the work and could send the patch set to mailing
list.

My 2c.
