One thing I'd like to see is a way to send feedback to the maker of the software to tell them their application is being used with Wine. Maybe that's just a link within the AppDB to a page on their website describing how to contact them, or maybe it's a link to a real comment form (on WineHQ or their site). Whatever the case, it should probably be controlled by the app maintainer.

I agree. If Valve software, for instance, knew that nearly 10,000 of their customers were running Half Life with Wine perhaps they'd adopt a better policy than "completely ignore us and avoid having people even talk about Linux on the forums."
