I use Wine occasionally for programs that are Win-centric, but I don't
play games. It seems like a very large portion of
the posts to this list are regarding games. I am thereby suggesting
that the list be divided into two, one list for serious
users, and one for gamers. I would subscribe to only the serious list,
obviously, and I would imagine that most of the
gamers would subscribe only to the list that catered to their interests.

issue is a problem in code it may not matter what type of program (game
or 'serious') it shows up in and people who could help get it fixed may
not wish to bother with two forums or two lists that both deal with user
(vs. dev) issues.
If you are on the mail list and do not want emails about non-serious
usage, maybe switching to the forum and only looking up the posts that
deal with those would work for you?
I think the reason there are more game questions than other types of
programs is that most other programs have linux native applications so
fewer 'serious' programs need to be run through Wine.
