Joomla creates new files and directories with umask 022. It might be problematic when ie. files has following privileges after installing new plugin:
$ ls -ld plugins/system/
drwxr-xr-x 2 dexter dexter 4096 paź 27 00:53 plugins/system/admin8/
$ ls -ld plugins/system/admin8/
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 paź 27 00:53 plugins/system/admin8/
$ ls -ld plugins/system/admin8/admin8.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 830 paź 27 01:04 plugins/system/admin8/admin8.xml
It means that it is impossible to edit or even remove files from this directory.
The possible solution is to set umask 002 for Apache and Joomla, and put the user and the server in the same group (and chmod g+s for directories). After this:
$ ls -ld plugins/system/
drwxrwsr-x 2 dexter joomla 4096 paź 27 00:53 plugins/system/admin8/
$ ls -ld plugins/system/admin8/
drwxrwsr-x 2 www-data joomla 4096 paź 27 00:53 plugins/system/admin8/
$ ls -ld plugins/system/admin8/admin8.xml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data joomla 830 paź 27 01:04 plugins/system/admin8/admin8.xml
Now I have rw priviliges to joomla files even if they're created by web server.
The patch allow to change the default file and directory modes.

This has come up several times over the years. And the decision made is that you shouldn't be able to set these to a different value. To be honest if you know what you're doing use the built in PHP functions for this and if you don't then it's better you don't find out what it does the hard way! Going to close this
