Can someone please review/commit the fix in PR 19638. It fixes a bug in patch(1) that prevents -S from skipping a patch when the file to be patched does not exist. Actually, it's skip it, but it requires human intervention first. This is a problem, because one reason you might want to skip the patch is because you know the file doesn't exist and that's OK. I ran into the problem while working on a port, so the requisite human intervention is unwanted, and in this case down-right confusing. And if you find yourself with some extra free time on your hands :), there is also PR 19642 which merges many security fixes to patch(1) from OpenBSD.
