Having said that, there are a few things you can do to make it more likely that patches will be applied quickly.
- Use text mail rather than HTML mail. Alexandre applies patches by
feeding the entire email to patch, so the less junk there is the more likely it is to just work.
- You don't need to provide a long/short description, just a changelog
entry is fine.
3) write a test case demonstrating that a patch is correct, and integrate it with Wine regression testing suite. That significantly rises a possibility that the patch will be accepted.
