How long should one wait to resend patches marked as "New" on the patch list? It seems that once they've gone "far enough" down on the list that there's no chance they'll be looked at. Thanks in advance for your advice.
As with a lot of things in Wine, there is no hard rule, but on irc it's been mentioned a few times to wait until the patch falls off of the list.
http://wiki.winehq.org/SubmittingPatches says "If your patch isn't committed in a day or two, improve it (perhaps by adding more tests) and resend, or ask on IRC/wine-devel for suggestions." ...
I believe that that comment is from before the patch tracker became available. It doesn't look like there's even a link on that page to the tracker... It seems like that page should probably be updated with a link to the tracker and a comment about waiting for the patch to fall off the list.
