Patch(es) please, I know I am very wary of attachments in emails from
developers I do not know.

You can also provide URLs to git trees or locations where you have the
userspace tools publicly posted.  If patches and userspace tools are
fairly large, it may be worth setting up a git tree on github (which
is free) and post a link to your source on github.  That may be the
easiest for large projects.
