Alexandre, for some reason you are intentionally ignoring the fact that
creation of wine-staging is the *result* of winehq behaviour, not something
that has appeared out of the air. I'm not going to repeat again and again
about ignored patches (silently rejected or marked as 'pending'), absence
of constructive and technical comments, etc. etc. Obviously wine-staging
maintainers started to work with winehq using available tools like wine-patches,
wine-devel, wine-bugzilla, patch tracker, but once they stumbled upon
some hard to overcome things they have no control over, and after many
attempts to discuss and even persuade to change something on winehq side
they decided to create wine-staging.

The source of the problem is on winehq side, ignring this fact won't
change anything. And what is the reason of hostality of that "veteran
devs"? That somebody spends their free spare time taking the patches
from wine-patches and wine-bugzilla, maintains and improves them, and
helps other developers with improving their work by openly suggesting
the changes and providing honest and high quality help without being
paid any cent?
