Which you are entitled to, but my opinion happens to differ. Whether the wine core source has all the patches, (Which it doesn't - many, but not all) isn't relevant, it's the process that they go through that I believe could improve.
The way to get your changes in is not to keep questioning the current process, but to adapt to it. Try fixing your patches. Try asking for guidance. Try testing them on some other platforms.
Getting feedback isn't always easy, so listen when you get it.
If you don't want to go to the effort required to get your patches into Alexandre's tree, they're not going to get in themselves.

Rubbish, The current process is crippling this project, limiting the developer base and reducing community value. Without some healthy dissent it will never change and get better. I am a friend of change, a true believer in the process of continuous improvement. I believe one day, the WIne project will value my contribution - even in dissent.
