You're talking about machine, right? Some time ago I had proposed Marcel
who initially worked on it, but I'm fine with anyone taking it.

For some (but not all) core qdev parts related to the (stalled) QOM
migration I've been taking care of via qom-next. Last time this came up
you didn't want anyone to be M: for qdev, so maybe we can use R: so that
at least people automatically get CC'ed and we avoid this recurring
discussion?

Andreas
