Would you like to see more frequent stable releases or more frequent
master releases?
Yes. But in this context I'm interested in stable releases. We have
bugs reported, fixed, and the fix applied, yet the fixes are unreachable
to users.
Especially so since qemu-kvm 0.12-stable hasn't been merged with qemu
basically since 0.12.4 came out. I was trying to help one of the Gentoo
maintainers find post 0.12.4 patches the other day and had to point them to
the upstream qemu stable tree.
I have offered to take care of this, but so far I do not have commit
access.
You don't necessarily need commit access for that. Just create your own
tree with backported patches, and then send a stable pull request to
the mailing list.
