Are you a wine developer? If so, can you tell me what resending means?
Option 1: I can mail my old patch as-is to wine-patches. This is very easy, and
I am happy to do it. But, it probably won't apply cleanly to the source tree
now, because it is more than two years old.
Option 2: I can download the wine source tree (I don't have it any more), try
to figure where my patch applies, update my patch, and re-send it to the list.

Option 2 is not hard, but would take me a nontrivial amount of time (I don't
use git, etc.). I'm willing to put some effort in for the sake of the
community, but there seems little reason to do it without some evidence that it
is more likely to get applied this time. This particular issue no longer
affects me, so my own intrinsic motivation is fairly low, especially since it
was never accepted in the first place despite some very helpful review by Juan
Lang (a wine developer).

If you are a wine developer and simply asking me to clean up my work before you
ensure it gets in, I am happy to do that: it is a small exchange for the many
benefits I receive from running wine! If you're not a wine developer, but this
issue affects you, then the problem is that I could do #2 and it still might
not get in. In that case, I think you may be better suited to push for this
yourself, because you can give examples that fail without it (I can't do that
anymore, because I don't run that old program anymore, so I can't even test
this patch, though it did work in 2008), and you care about the outcome. You
could certainly download the patch and do #2 on your own.
