In other words, they are on their own as neither Wine nor POL will be able to accept a bug report.

Yes, some of the 'bugs' are very old.  Bug 421 is the oldest outstanding bug and it is a request for enhancement that has seen many hands 'touch' it.  If the source of the patch can be found, it may be possible to update the bug report with successes and failures to help troubleshoot and create a 'proper' patch for the problem in the bug report.

Also, please keep working with Dan Kegel on incorporating the winetricks scripting method into POL/POM.
