I think it's wise to also add style guidelines/advice. The Haskell and GHC wikis already have a lot of material on that:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Programming_guidelines http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Category:Style
They might be reasonable as extra resources, but not as guidance on what a patch ought to look like. The last one is a collection of general advice, with significant disagreements between the authors, while the GHC conventions don't necessarily apply to libraries. It's far more important to follow the conventions of the code you're modifying.
