I don't really know anything about the DIB engine or the engineering problem in getting it accepted except that it is going to be a massive beast and almost impossible to implement in small changes.
Yup, I'm dumb about it too.
My $.02: with our fancy new git system, could we branch Wine and start developing a separate tree with a new DIB engine? Apply patches to both trees. There probably won't be too many merge conflicts because there's not a ton of work on GDI and x11drv these days.
Or maybe we could release a Wine 1.0 and start a development branch with that as one of the goals.

That is what I would have suggested doing if I applied for the DIB project this year. But with so much talk about it, I've shyed away from it. I wouldn't mind working on it with a team, and divide up the work though.
