Personal preference. Wine are nearing to a 1.0 product and are very careful about what code enters their repository. ReactOS does not currently meet their strict policy.
If you want to get code into Wine, you must submit your patches with test cases and if required, relevant links to documentation.
I have also ask the question on the WINE-mailinglist. The answer at http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-August/058929.html looks like, that the test-suites are not the only reason.

Does it mean ReactOS is not respected/trusted among the Open Source community for disassembling Microsoft binaries?
I don't know if this accusation is really true or not but if it's not I think it's even worse because that means that something is failing (probably communication) between the project and the OS community. Doing nothing about that is IMHO a very bad idea.
I think it deserves some deep reflection and a *serious* strategy to change that general opinion. Earn respect is a KEY thing to do if the project wants to attract new developers.
My two cents, Marc

I am so sorry you had to go through all that. This one is my favorite. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-August/058931.html It is the normal for now. Thanks, James
