Thanks Michael! I will start to give more thorough test on this today,
since we finally got 0.10 in shape.

Here is my plan: For people inside our team, with access to the git tree
we can just pull stuff to the git tree and on a given time basis I can
pick up the patches and send them altogether to the KVM and autotest
mailing list, wait for reviews and then check them.

If you are already used to send all your changes to the KVM mailing list
though, this would pose little or no change to you, just send an
additional cc to the autotest mailing list.

What do you think?
