I think you're fairly well aware of my opinions on wine-staging by now, so I won't repeat that discussion here. One additional thing I would like to point out though, is that if you guys are seriously interested in working with upstream to get patches committed as you claim (as opposed to e.g. just trolling for page hits), antagonizing the people you're supposedly trying to work with may not be an optimal strategy.
Did you think about that it's a two way road? Apparently one of the main reasons why wine-staging has been created is because of winehq maintainership inflexibility.
Well, that's probably news to a lot of people. As originally stated, the reason for creating wine-staging was more along the lines of helping new developers with getting their patches up to the proper quality. And yes, of course it's a two way road, if I still thought there was any hope of wine-staging turning into a net-positive for Wine, I would certainly have been more careful about how I phrased things.
