You didn't say how you include the patch in your email.  Did you do a
MIME attachment using `C-c C-a' or similar?  Or did you include the
patch using `C-x i' or the like?

Did your message contain non-ascii characters?  That would cause Gnus
to use QP or base64 encoding because it assumes that mailers don't
grok 8bit characters.

If you are sure that your mailer groks 8bit characters, you can tell
Gnus to use 8bit encoding for iso-8859-1 text, for example, by setting
the variable gnus-group-posting-charset-alist appropriately.  For
example:

(add-to-list 'gnus-group-posting-charset-alist
             '(message-this-is-mail iso-8859-1 (iso-8859-1)))
;                                   header     body

This tells Gnus to use 8bit encoding for iso-8859-1 characters in the
header and in the body.
