Please stop with these ridiculous conspiracy theories right away. It is a
totally inappropriate and baseless accusation to make. 

Peter is not trying to punish you with extra rules. Over time QEMU has been 
raising the bar for *all* contributions with extra code style checks,
automated testing, and review. Unfortunately this does mean that the larger
the patch series / feature, the more work is required to get to a mergable
state, especially if the contributors are not previously familiar with QEMU
development.

Daniel
