Since any patches submitted for being included in wine-staging will be fixing a bug in wine. It has been decided that we'll use bugzilla for submission. This way anyone can follow the follow the status of patch, discussion of what/why things changed and when it's finally upstream.
We are trying to avoid the situation of "What was that patch trying to fix", or "I see what it's doing but what application can I use to verify".
Once the bug it created and the patch(s) attached, email myself or Zebediah asking for staging consideration. Please don't just CC me on a bug and assume we know what you want.
Do you realize that you've essentially killed the project?
No, we haven't killed the project. Just because you haven't different views on how wine-staging should be controlled and run, Doesn't mean we have killed the project.
Bugzilla already has a large number of patches that people have submitted for applications, so for most people the workflow won't change.
I have strong beliefs that wine-staging is for testing patches and then moving them on, once they are ready. Since taking on wine-staging we have reduced the number of patches by 200+, and out of that about ~75% have been accepted upstream. And in doing this, both project have prospered.
Coming from a developer, who has ~20 patches per release cycle, it strange that you have the opinion that *only you* can move *your patches* out of staging. Does that mean you have stopped the project moving forward? No, because whether you like it not, people are going to do it!
