I just heard Haiku is on the accepted list.

Last year a student worked on finishing the VirtualBox guest additions I
started writing:
https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/scgtrp/2011-09-05_vbox_guest_additions_slightly_late_final_progress_report

It should be possible to come up with a project involving QEMU on Haiku
if anyone is interested.
While there is an existing QEMU port, I'm not sure in what state it
currently is.

QEMU proved useful to Haiku developers up to now, cf.

Well, ReactOS tried and failed several times to be accepted without
being given any reason, if that is of any comfort.
