I don't want to fork a project, but I would like to submit patches for inclusion; should I do this on the issue queue?

You should fork the project. In Github, this is very cheap. This way, you can push your changes how you want to your repository, and then make a pull request to have them included in the official repository.
You can then delete your fork after that.

If you don’t fork a project, that means:
Then you can indeed use the issue queue to reference a patch.
If said patch isn’t too big, you can directly copy/paste its textual form.
If not, you can copy it to some pastebin site and link it from your issue ticket.
