Typically, adding yourself to maintainers is done only after having
proved your ability to be a maintainer. :)
So, let's stop talking and go back to code! You can start doing what
was suggested elsewhere in the thread: get the server and uio driver
merged into the QEMU tree, document the protocol in
docs/specs/ivshmem_device_spec.txt, and start fixing bugs such as the
ones that Markus reported.
Since ivshmem is basically KVM-only (it has a soft dependency on
ioeventfd), CC the patches to kvm@vger.kernel.org and I'll merge them
via the KVM tree for now. I'll (more than) gladly give maintainership
away in due time.
