Sorry looks like a too hard box kind of thing, sign off by line, what the..
I can now see why so many fixes just don't ever see their way to wine.
They don't appear to be your patches, so not sure why you're complaining about the patch process being hard..
In any case, it's a common requirement in many OSS projects, showing agreement with the project's requirements and responsibility for the patch.
You can always apply patches locally (or fork Wine if you think you can do a better job of maintaining the project).
