The suckless site is perfectly usable with elinks, w3m and, if I were to
guess, probably links and lynx, too. Regardless, I think you're
optimizing for a use case that is an extreme minority; I'm pretty sure
most people use a browser to review patches on suckless.org. All this
seems like a large amount of complexity and inconvenience when it comes
to how most people interact with the site.

Maybe I don't understand exactly what you're doing, but if you are
regularly building dwm on various machines, you should probably automate
the process instead of manually searching for and re-downloading the
patches every time.
