Maybe some CI stuff which qemu has > for master, if not only just before actual release. I'd suggest to get a gitlab.com account, and fork the qemu repository there. Then you can run the CI on your own by pushing your patch to your forked repository. You can also get some test additional coverage by running the avocado tests with "make check-avocado" ... but beware that this downloads quite some hundreds of MBs from the internet. And some tests are known to fail, so it's maybe best to run them on the plain 7.2.0 tag first to see what works for you and what does not work properly. > And as usual, this needs help in picking up changes which should go to > stable.
