I'd like to suggest some form of feedback for patches submitted to wine-patches, which is currently a bit of a black hole.
Some of the patches I sent did not committed (probably because Alexandre didn't consider the cleanup there worthwhile enough, which I even could understand):
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/11/0159.html
And the following patch was committed with modifications:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/11/0176.html -> http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?id=6249
Getting a bit of feedback in these cases (directly with a Cc: to wine-devel) would have been nice, not the least to educate submitters.
