You can probably remove the comments pointing to the tickets now, I'd say it's clear from the URL

It's not obvious how to get to the ticket, one would need to go hunting for the bug tracker URL and entering a ticket number extracted from the attachment URL.

Why do we want to do this? Since the patches are already in our git, there isn't any benefit to switch to fetching them because the price is already paid.

Well there were complaints that they should be fetched, so if this is merged they will be :) I suppose it would benefit channel users which don't get nixpkgs via git. If this is not needed I can close this PR.

Well there were complaints

Where can we see those?

Anyway either merge this, or close it.

Yes, that's right, in the future please try to use fetchpatch whenever possible. It is too late to switch now, because, as I said, those patches are already in nixpkgs git repo. Also it's not a big deal since they are tiny files anyway. Thank you for the effort, though!
