Seems like the PR is in a left out state, without a clear approval or disapproval, this is sadly very common.
I think a ACK/NACK system to allow prominent Wine contributors/developers to triage MR with Labels early would speed up Wine development significantly without changing anything about how MR are merged. _(This idea is at least better than having to ping everyone as the only option to revive an MR)_
I don't think I understand what you mean. How would that improve anything?
Would you be ok letting @zfigura handle this MR and notify you when this MR is ready, so to save you time and allow you to review the MR only when everything is supposed to be fully ready?
As I said in [1], I think that this merge request is in good shape, except for 4/7 which is less related to sockets. I agree that patch is ugly, but on the other hand I don't see a clearly better approach.
