Mirroring this on gitlab is a little silly when the primary upstream
is already on gitlab :-)

IIUC, the content from these is present in the main qemu.git.

Should we mark them "archived" in gitlab, so they're not listed
by default as active repos.

Doesn't  mdrooth need  'qemu-web' access for updating the list of

We probably ought to have more than one person with push to qemu-stable,
even if mdroth normally does it all, just to improve a bus factor.
