Hello, I'm not Sylvain, but I want to make a note
regardless.
Keep in mind that almost all the developers are contributors
that work in their spare time. What you suggest is that
those developers who donate their time for the project
should also take on the task of reviewing Wine changes, and
sending patches to them, instead of letting the original
author of the patch send it to the Wine patch review system
directly, which already has their own set of volunteers.
I understand that submitting patches to wine can be
complicated sometimes, but they DO have places where the more
veteran developers can help contributors with patches, before
they attempt submitting them for review/commit. So "forcing"
the ReactOS developers to do this work is redundant, and -- in
my opinion -- also rude.
I'm not saying that patches belonging to Wine components should
automatically be discarded, as that would be rude toward the
author of the patch, and I see your point that it may be
slightly faster if he patches come from a known contributor, I
just want to make it very clear that since I'm one of the very
few people that receives money from working on ReactOS (not sure
if I'm the only one at the moment), when you ask one of the devs
to do work that you could do yourself, chances are you are
asking another volunteer, not a paid employee.
