The simplest thing to do is for someone to just track the code they release and diff it against our own stuff, and note if anything new and interesting (eg an implementation of a function) comes up. Then send in a patch if it seems like it could help us too. But, is anyone doing this?
Why bother?
It's really in their best interest to keep current with Wine.
Continually resolving conflicts and fixing the same bugs we've fixed is a waste of their time, and monitoring their patches is a waste of our time.
The easiest thing for everybody is for original patch authors to submit their patches to wine-patches. If they don't want to do that, it will be harder on them in the long run.
