I just found some spare minutes to read through your mail. Thanks for
the text, I think this is a good summary for newcomers, indeed!

And yes, I agree, this should appear somewhere on the qemu.org website!
I think the best place is either a page in the Wiki, or a post in the
QEMU blog. I assume you already have a wiki account? If not, let me
know. Or for doing a blog post, you basically have to
 git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu-web.git
and add a new file in the "_posts" directory. Have a look at the other
files there to know how to specify the meta information. Then send a
patch to qemu-devel, with Paolo on CC (and myself if you want to get a
review or test with Jekyll).
