Let's be sincere on this: wine-staging now is dead regardless of the new
maintainership attempts.

It's been always a declaration without obvious results.

I have no idea about the way of managing patches that the new maintainers
will follow, but obviously there were the reasons why the wine-staging project
has been created and why so many (even trivial) patches have been collected
there for some years. It will take some time to re-establish trust again,
I'd suggest to calm down and see how it goes instead of trying to heat up
on the rough edges again, especially from the new maintainers side.
