Sorry, I meant Wine, not git.
Just to be clear on the way I see it, and I am not trying to speak for Alexandre here, if you want to get a patch in to Wine, apply it to your local Wine tree, test it and make sure it works on Linux and does not break a test and or write a test if it has new functionality, then submit it. The CVS gateway is still open and hes not, not committing patches just because someone has worked on ReactOS in the past. If it says the patch is from ReactOS he is likely to still reject it given all of the noise regarding ReactOS but if you develop it in the Wine tree, make it clear that its a clean-room implementation and follow the normal Wine rules for submission, even non-git patches still can get merged. He's not been rejecting patches from Thomas, Martin, Ge and others who have worked on ROS in the past and I do not expect him to start but until the SFLC audit of Wine is done (which is still being worked on) he is going to reject patches that are developed specifically for ReactOS. This is not that much of a change then what was always the case even before the ReactOS audit because he would not accept certain code that was effectively dead on POSIXish platforms.
