This is my personal opinion, but I would prefer patches to be submitted relative to the project root. Looks like most patches have been, so no big deal there. However attachments of new files in JAR format are a pain. ZIP or TAR GZ files would be much easier to handle, with files relative to the project root.
JAR files /are/ ZIP files. They just use a different extension.
Creating files relative to the project root is easy enough; however, if you use broken tools like WinZip then it may silently take off the top-level directory without informing you. Command line tools (tar, jar) don't have that problem.
