All this points to is a need to automate - sending this reply should be a
one-click action. In fact this particular one (and no doubt many others)
could be done by a reply-bot.
Other things that could be done by a reply-bot:
unacceptable patch format
no patch found in message
missing ChangeLog
Perhaps a reply-bot should send out a copy of the guidelines the first time a
new contributor submits something to wine-patches (or even to existing
contributors when there have been changes to the guidelines).
