The patch is good.

Lacks sign-off, has extra header lines in body, and the justification can be a lot stronger. The three you identified are the only ones among 30 hits from:

    $ git grep -n -e "printf(.*\".*['\"]%s" -- '*.c'

that use dq around the path-like things, while all others use sq. There also are a few similar constructs using strbuf_addf all of which use sq. Consistency is good.
