git can be really helpful here.  As I said, anyone who wants to start 
maintaining a git tree for a particular subsystem they're interested in, 
I'm more than happy to do git pulls and then push to svn via git-svn.  
Of course, all commits should be posted as patches and they should be 
well separated and bisectable, etc.  All discussions should happen on 
qemu-devel too.

I know part of the problem for maintainership is chicken-and-the-egg.  
If you don't have commit access, it's hard to prove that you would be a 
good maintainer.  git really helps this though because anyone can setup 
a git tree.
