And I agree with this decision.  You are technically "the keeper of the 
code" and I have on more than one occasion transgressed this unwritten rule.

However, I will still post patches for comments in Wine Development and 
subsequently release them to the LGPL/Wine in Wine-Patches so that 
others can work with them.  I feel that is only fair for what I have 
done.  Is that acceptable?

This seems to be the method used by others, however I have been known to 
be massively incorrect in the past, and I could be wrong now.

If posting them to bug reports is the preferred method I will that instead.
