Chris, I understand your question, and to some extent I share your frustration. I don't exactly understand the relationship between the Crossover folks and the more general wine development community.
I would estimate that a majority of patches to the regular Wine are made by Crossover folks. Go to the archives, by author,
http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/10/author.html
and click on a few patches from the people who contribute significant numbers of patches. And don't forget that Alexandre works for Crossover (his patches do not appear in wine-patches).
My general impression is that there are groups of people that work on particular parts of Wine. Crossover has put a lot of effort into office applications and installers, but very little towards games. There is a small group of people who have contributed virtually all the DirectX and sound code.
The fundamental thing to keep in mind is that Wine is a gigantic project, rivaling the Linux kernel I would guess. There are just a tiny amount of active developers for such a large project. Without Codeweavers, I doubt Wine would exist in anything like its current form.
