I fully agree.

I understand if it makes things easier for you as maintainer if you ask
contributors to do the rebase before their (approved) patches are to be
merged. But your wording seemed to suggest that I should resend the
actual patch, not regenerate it after rebasing to a future master, which
confused me as in that case I'd need to keep around a free-floating
patch that is neither version-controlled nor archived.
