QEMU is in freeze, until next week or the week after
(https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/8.0)

It is expected that newly introduced features or code take many
iterations before they are accepted. For the pipewire audio backend,
none of us is an expert afaik, so we are also learning about it, and
trying to make it better than the existing one if possible. Once all
comments are addressed and the patch has a few "Reviewed-by", the
maintainers can queue it. Then we can address further issues as
users/developpers start finding them. In any case, the pipewire
backend will not be "released" before QEMU 8.1 (in about 4 months,
depending on planning)
