As usual, during this year's KVM Forum we also held the
QEMU Summit, which is where the more active subsystem
maintainers meet up for a discussion of various maintenance
and other project issues. As always, none of this is set-in-stone
decisions; further input and discussion on-list is welcome.
* QEMU Leadership Committee: Are changes to committee membership
necessary (it's been 3 years)?
The Leadership Committee represents QEMU in the Software Freedom
Conservancy (the legal home for our project). At the moment no
urgent changes are necessary, but we're open to suggestions for new
members.
No urgent changes were necessary at the time of the KVM Forum, but
subsequent announcements about the IBM and Red Hat relationship may
require a change in the next year, to avoid having too many members from
the same company.
* MAINTAINERS "R:" (designated reviewer): should this be open to
anyone?
The maintainer still merges patches, but R: people have expressed an
interest in reviewing patches and should be CCed. There is debate as
to what exactly R: means. R: doesn't imply that the person is a
maintainer although it is sometimes considered as having authority
over the code.
Cornelia Huck will send patch to clarify the exact meaning of R:. It
will be up to the maintainer to decide who can be added to R:.
Patch available here, if you want to add discussion:
