We do, over at newrpms.sunsite.dk iirc, the biggest problems being that I think they depend on ALSA (not sure why) and that nobody knows about them unless they visit IRC. Plus they are for Redhat only (but really it's mostly redhat users with the problems).
Perhaps it'd be easier to simply place a prominant warning on the winehq homepage with pointers to newrpms.sunsite.dk
Please don't -- we have a place on SF where we have packages, let's not complicate things. In fact, our RedHat RPMs are NTPL read, this is what the release notes say:
Notes: This release is compiled for a fully patched installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0, including (but not limited to) the glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6 errata package. It may or may not work with the original glibc package installed by Red Hat Linux 8.0.
The problem is that many people build from source, and ./configure doesn't do the expected thing: detect the requirements for the current system.
