It's possible to see on wiki the "trust points" positions  ? :)
And on each WWN, see the variations (seems the famous kde buzz) :)

Anyway, adding an explaining page on wiki for "how to begin as wine developper" may help a lot

The commit logs contain the time of the change and the time of the
commit, so you could use that to build a top-10 of the developers with
the best patch-to-commit times ;-)

Wont work quite well as the time of the change can be way older than the
time the developer submitted his patch.

Heh :) Bear in mind that it depends a lot on the patch and what kind
of work you're doing. Getting some clearly correct typo fixes in for
an obscure DLL is going to be a lot easier even for 'untrusted'
developers than, say, implementing SetThreadPriority which touches the
core of Wine in a sensitive area and is somewhat controversial.

There's no special privilege for CW employees or SoC students, though
we appreciate it may look that way at first glance. I'm a CW employee
on and off (more off than on lately due to university) and I get
patches rejected all the time <chuckle> :)
