Hi list
I was reading a bug which gave me an idea. I have a lot of unused Steam gift links from duplicates in my Humble Bundle purchases. I'd like to share those with whomever needs any of them to work on bugs (or to Wine devs who want them, you guys more than deserve them). I'd like to set up a Wiki page containing a list of available games and a point of contact to get it gifted, encouraging other Wine users to do the same and have one more open method of contributing to the project.
Is this something that would interest anyone?

Hi Jerome, I once was gifted an Humble Indi Bundle to work on a related Bug, and actually i just used it to fix the bug, not for playing :) So this kind of contribution really works. Thus i think your idea is really good. Sadly i have no time atm to work on such things i guess.

I like the idea. I won't make use of your offer personally though. Since I'm working for codeweavers and they're providing me with all the game licenses I need for my work on Wine I've never had any issues with getting access to games. Unfortunately there's also no shortage of bugs and work to be done :-\ .

While I do like the idea, it may be prohibited by HIB use terms (is that even what it's called ?). Better check this first. I recall reading something along the lines that a bundle can not be resold/gifted in whole nor in chunks.
Of course, this has nothing to do with other gift origins.

That used to be the case. They changed their policy and do offer gift links for all single games.
What is not allowed is the resale of games, afaik.
