Which is why we want to have the ambassadors project to help new people in
to wine. The thinking goes that if we have some people to help hold the
hands of new developers and the developers that are defacto maintainers of a
certain section of code will respond to patches as they seem them, this will
free julliard from having to answer every single patch with a reply. Now in
the case of Ge where he was patching core functions of
ntdll,kernel32,wineserver,etc I guess it would still fall to julliard to
reply personally but in the case of other modules the experts in that area
should take a step up and monitor wine-patches and say what patch
X.Y.Zsucks and julliard most likely will not merge it.
