I subsequently started a new bug report for the problem and was replied to by that same developer from the first bug.  He replied in more, rather unfriendly, terms and essentially brushed off my replies to his queries and abruptly closed the bug.  I understand what he is trying to say to me (in terms of what I should do to provide more helpful information in a bug report) but I am particularly disheartened by the inappropriate and distasteful tone and wording with which he replied to me.  My question is, then, where and to whom could I file a complaint regarding this individual's behavior in Wine's bugzilla?

Yes, you can build Wine without many options, but if you want to report
a bug, it has to have all of the options built or some functions may not
work properly.  I've been the victim of this with other programs.
