When someone submits a patch for a vulnerability label the commit with that information.

The difference is how much of a head start attackers have. Attackers are incentivized to read commits for obfuscated vulns - asking defenders to do that is just adding one more thing to our plates.
That's a huge difference.

So I can go about my patch cycle as normal.

OK? So? First of all, it's usually really obvious when a bug might be exploitable, or at least it would be if we didn't have commits obfuscating the details. Second, I'm not suggesting that you only apply security labeled patches.
