In https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-January/206509.html , Michael Cronenworth (a wine committer, AFAICS unlike the Change owner) says “I don't see this one happening.”

Assuming FESCo does not want to explicitly decide about this patchset’s inclusion: I don’t think this is automatically a reason to reject the Change if the FESCo approval is not considered to override the maintainers; if the Change owner persuades the package owners, great; if not, the Change won’t happen.

I am +0 to the Wine Change. +1 to both the Gnome Shell notifications and Nautilus improvements.

AGREED: all changes this week accepted, with the caveat that the wine maintainer is not required to take the patch for the change (7+, 0-) on ticket tmaz was 0 to wine and +1 to others
