Bugs are NOT Alexandre's responsibility. There are other people doing
the bugzilla triaging and those guys are always on a lookout for help.
Even reviewing the patches is not only Alexandre's job. Everybody can
and should do that but please try to be polite. For some parts of Wine
Alexandre already relies on the "maintainers" of that code to bless the
patch; wined3d is probably the most prominent example.

So yes, Alexandre scales pretty well with committing 100 patches a day.
He doesn't scale at replying to trivially "wrong" patches but everybody
can reply to those and actually they should do that.

That's the good part for the developers to see the trivial reasons why
their patch was rejected. That will relieve Alexandre from repeating the
same boring reasons why a patch was rejected.
