I added LINUX and POSIX just to have a hook were a maintainer
and files / directories can be added (and to fill the host list with
more than an entry for w32 :-)). Of course BSD and other hosts
can also be added if needed.

There are some more entries for qemu-devel which use
M: qemu-devel@nongnu.org. I think L: qemu-devel@nongnu.org
would be more appropriate there, too.
