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.
