I think your first problem is finding people that can review and merge the code. As MCST is on the sanctions list a potentially large section of the regular contributors can't be involved in code review. You may find a maintainer willing to process the PRs after they have been reviewed but IANAL so check with your own counsel. It would be worth making sure you have a plan before investing a lot of work into re-basing and posting.=20 > > [1] https://git.openelbrus.ru/mcst/qemu --=20 Alex Benn=C3=A9e Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro
