It will at least allow QA team to fix such bugs where patches are already available.
So, if bugs are being fixed why is there a need to fix something that isn't broken with regards to a policy _needed_ to enforce this action? Are bugs being ignored or RESOLVED, WONTFIX?
Hypothetically, if there was such a policy and there was 100's of bugs filed with patches (maintainers should handle the patches anyway) this isn't any different than the present lack of policy. Let us also pretend that there were 100's of bugs filed that had no such patches available..would the QA team have the manpower to generate patches to fix this and apply them or would the bugs just rot in bugzilla and not achieve anything?
