What happened to dev.wine-staging.com?

What happened to https://dev.wine-staging.com/?

I had a patchset proposal there that was reviewed and commented upon.

Now the address redirects to https://bugs.winehq.org/

Is the wine-staging patchset proposal/review system definitively
abandoned?

I also noticed, I thought it's obviously been abandoned  but maybe
someone could give a more official notice.

Anyways, IMO it should maybe be at least redirected to the latest
available patches instead, linking to the main page is a bit sad XD
(https://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NE...).
Also just redirecting it like that, imo, is a bit of a 'f-u' to the
people involved there. Maybe a notice at the top of the page would have
been better at both redirecting people and communicating the situation.
"Hey! We're now following up new patches at bugzilla (link here) and
this page just serves historic purpose from now on".

I too liked the patch proposal system there, and it was very effective
in getting discussion about patchsets and pretty good patchsets
proposed, not so effective in getting them into wine later though.

My feeling is the wine-devel mailing list together with
https://source.winehq.org/patches/ could also serve a similar purpose if
only there was some way to see patches that where neither accepted nor
denied (atm it seems like older patches are just lost). Maybe bugzilla
could serve that purpose if there was some way to mark a bug or patchset
as 'proposed for staging'.

I would kindly ask the staging maintainers (maybe they where not the
ones who did the redirect though) about some official news about this,
also about how patches can be proposed atm. The community deserves it
:D.

About everything I'm saying it's not just words I'd love to help but atm
it's a bit tricky since staging doesn't have a 'place'.

Cheers to everyone involved and thanks for your work, it's really
appreciated even if sometimes it can be controversial :).

Hi guys,

sorry for the inconvenience, but we are just in the middle of
transferring the wine-staging.com domain to the new Staging
maintainers. The website hasn't received any updates in a while, and
the patch tracker has not been used since several months. Now that
Alistair is officially the new maintainer of the Staging branch and we
are no longer involved in the project, we decided that it makes most
sense to hand over control of the domain. If you had any pending
patches, please get in touch with Alistair to check if/how they can be
integrated into his new repository.

Best Regards,
Sebastian Lackner
