Patch keyword is for patches attached to bugs only and not sent to wine-patches.

Patch keyword is for patches attached to bugs only and not sent to wine-patches.
It's still useful, e.g., if patch is not accepted.
No it's not. The intension of that keyword was to fish all the patches out of buzilla and resubmit them to wine-patches. Or serve as a base for someone to improve upon. With mixing the two you make it nearly useless as most bugs will have it eventually. Especially all fixed ones.
I'm not that worried about it, and if that's what consensus is, fine by me.
Keep in mind, however, that I doubt anyone is searching fixed bugs for patches. By that same argument, we should obsolete any patches attached to bugs once they're committed to git, even for fixed bugs.
