Wine Staging 3.5 Test Results Unable to check Staging box

I just had a test result come in for "Wine 3.5-Staging". The version is set to
"3.5" without the "Wine-staging" box checked, and I can see why - you can't
check it! Please see the attached image.

Despite WineHQ claiming that it's discontinued, you can download it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/88m1mz/wine_staging_35_release...

This is a blocker for all test results submitted with Wine-Staging. I can't
accept these results as they list an incorrect Wine version (3.5 vs 3.5
staging) so accepting these results as-is would be lying about how it runs in
Wine 3.5. So what am I supposed to do, reject these test results?

The checkbox was disabled because official WineHQ staging releases stopped.
While work has unofficially been done on bringing staging up to date, there are
still no staging packages on dl.winehq.org, nor have I seen any official
acknowledgment of Alistair as the WineHQ staging maintainer. If and when that
happens, I will send a patch to re-enable the checkbox.

As to what the holdup is, that's a question I'd like an answer to myself.

Yes. At present, users should submit test results for the development release,
and if wine-staging solves any problems, mention that in the Extra comments
section.

I will be rejecting the results with this message:

Wine is currently only accepting test results for Devel and Stable versions,
not Staging versions. See: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44942

There's https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2018-March/124819.html,
which nobody objected to, although I think it would be good for Alexandre to
explicitly acknowledge that. That still leaves the packages, of course.

How do I accept the previously rejected test results?

Maintainers can't. I was going to do it for you, but assuming the one in
question is the test report for Divinity Original Sin 2, that test report is
unacceptable anyway because the user filled out the form incorrectly.
Specifically, problems and workarounds were mentioned under "What works" but
the user answered "No" to the questions about whether there were any problems
not present on Windows or workarounds used.

I see. Thanks for looking. I was going to read the test results for further
errors, I just stopped reading when I saw the one error (of Wine Staging ver).
