I think that current development process isn't a problem at all. In fact AJ is very good at what he is doing! As far as I understand your patch ("comctl32: Fix invalid syntax.") was rejected just because you forgot to add proper (descriptive) changelog entry. What is the real problem is the lack of testers (who report regressions and bugs) and developers. This is why WINE still has a lot of bugs, regressions are quite common thing to happen, etc. To fix this, more people should read wine-patches and test patches before they are committed, more people should write bug reports, more people should be involved in the development, and so on. Unfortunately, not all people have enough time for such tasks. However, WINE is pretty usable today.
I'd say we need more tests. Any patch that breaks a test from our testsuite when AJ runs them prior to committing is rejected
