There is a confirmation right now, plus it doesn't work at all unless
you delete all the comments first, which you can't do either unless
you are an administrator or the only person who has ever commented on
the patch.

Really, deleting patches should be quite rare and only needed in cases
where the patch should not have been added in the first place.

I guess I'm not really seeing why that particular thing should be a
button rather than a link. It would mess up the formatting for no
obvious benefit.
