It is a bit pointless to send patches anonymously to the wine-patches mailing list. No matter if you are the author or not, when you are sending the patches you are the person responsible for it. To establish trust, all developers should use their real names here on the mailing lists. (see the rules for submitting patches: http://wiki.winehq.org/SubmittingPatches )
Besides that I see much bigger chances when Jonathan would send these patches himself. He is experienced with his own code, can respond to feedback, can fix regressions if it causes problems, and so on. For people new to Wine development its always easier to start with some self-written patches.
@Jonathan: I would like to encourage you again to give it another try. If you need any help, feel free to ask me. I assume Stefan Dösinger would also be willing to help again.
Regards, Sebastian
He didn't seem to be willing to work on wine anymore, but I hope I'm wrong.
I saved his previous patchset and adapted the query patch to wine-staging for someone brave enough to take it upstream: https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/pull/322
