Patches that are not meant to be committed can be sent to wine-devel for
discussion, or attached to their corresponding bug.

Sure, our community is not as nice as it could be, and a lot of us are
burned out on trying to help newbies. But the community is the sum of
its members, that's why we need people like you, with the skill and
motivation to help people that others may not feel like helping.

So I think it's unfortunate that instead of joining us and help improve
the behavior of the WineHQ community, you have chosen to fork your own
separate community, and are actively encouraging people to give up on
WineHQ and move over there.

Not only is it understandably perceived as a hostile move by a number of
veteran devs, it also doesn't solve the issue, because as I explained,
to get patches upstream people will be required to interact with the
community here. So this is where the problems have to be addressed.
