Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?
a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in

dwm-flexipatch: statuscmd integration in dwmblocks
To better understand how statuscmd works, I took a step back and decided to try some experimentation before patching my own build: I compiled dwm-flexipatch (obviously with BAR_DWMBLOCKS_PATCH and BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH set to 1), and tried it with my patched dwmblocks and modified one of my statusbar scripts accordingly for testing purpose:

[dwm] Vanitygasp per tag?
I don't think I ever made a standalone patch for this, but you can derive what needs to be changed if you grep the dwm-flexipatch code base for PERTAG_VANITYGAPS_PATCH and have a look at what the changes are.

Is it possible to patch an already heavily patched & customized build of suckless program?
I like and use dwm but it was becoming an overkill for me to mix and match patches, plus updating of dwm from git, I started using dwm-flexipatch from bakkeby, which I suggest you to try. He's incorporated many patches - all the ones I needed where there, which can be enabled/disabled very easily. A drawback is the config.h file: It's a bit intimidating at first, because it includes the possible options of all patches, enabled or not.

Better way to manage patches?
https://github.com/bakkeby/flexipatch-finalizer -- "The flexipatch-finalizer is a custom pre-processor that uses the same configuration file and strips a flexipatch build of any unused code, leaving a build of the software with the selected patches applied."
