Essentially, you ask to change code on unfounded guesses (I did the  
best to my knowledge in the first place already) and to commit into a  
black hole until some unknown, not communicating person is satisfied  
to her/his taste.

So, what did the reviewing person then? Sitting there smiling "Heh,  
look, he could have done better, but, ha-ha, I won't tell him"? I  
hope this wasn't the case.

I'm fine with Alexandre personally but not so sure about Wine's  
current patch receiving process.

That said I'm perfectly fine if Wine people consider this process as  
being effective. There's no law enforcing Wine to accept what I've sent.

Correct. Communication is a plus.
