I disagree (from the sidelines, that is; I'm not a QEMU maintainer --
I'm a co-maintainer elsewhere). The patch submission process exists for
a reason, the goal is to maximize the throughput of long-term
contributors and maintainers, because that's the best for the project's
overall health and progress.
It does not mean that one-off contributions are not welcome -- all
contributions are welcome that follow the process (and beyond that,
everyone is welcome to become a long-term contributor).
Just my two cents, of course; don't take this as an official standpoint
or whatever. (And, I'm saying this after having manually fixed up
garbled patches from one-off contributors.)
