We're not restricting potential developers to Linux kernel folks. We're 
making it easy for them because we believe that the KVM tool is a 
userspace component that requires the kind of low-level knowledge Linux 
kernel developers have.

I think you're looking at the KVM tool with your QEMU glasses on without 
realizing that there's no point in comparing the two: we only support 
Linux on Linux and we avoid hardware emulation as much as possible. So 
what makes sense for QEMU, doesn't necessarily translate to the KVM tool 
project.
