No, the developer should not get reports as this is a privicy issue that 
was discussed a long time ago.

If winetricks does report them, they go to Dan Kegel, who is a regular 
poster here who can provide more information on what, if anything, he 
does with the reports.  Hopefully, he will chime in and confirm what I 
said above.  I've never seen a report from winetricks in the three years 
I've used it.
